I have a bit of down time, so I wanted to make archival copies of the
Commodore disks that I have. I have an old copy of X1541 which I was going
to use, but I wanted to take a quick survey and see what other methods list
members use?

I'd say a particularly suitable solution would be the Catweasel floppy
controller. It's extremely versatile, capable of controlling and reading
just about every file system and floppy format on earth. It's available
both as an ISA and Zorro card and works with both AmigaOS, DOS and Linux.

Don't use X1541, use Star Commander (http://sta.c64.org/) with any of the
X1541-series cables. It works really well -- just make sure you have a
Commodore floppy drive free. I archive disks with this method all the time
as .d64s.
