non-PC Floppy imaging

I would somehow like to image them so: a) I have backups in case the floppies themselves go bad b) be able to investigate their contents in case I have to ?merge? the contents of multiple floppies to make a single good one These are all 8? diskettes. The complicating factors in all of this are: a) any text (e.g. strings) are going to be in EBCDIC rather than ASCII b) each uCode diskette was presumably serialized to the CPU it was for c) not sure what the ?on-disk? structure looks like d) the only 8? diskette drives that I have are in IBM (non-PC) equipment Any ideas/comments would be welcome.

Thanks. TTFN - Guy
