I have two sets of floppies that I want to read at this time.  The 
first, and likely simpler, is an old Super Solvers game for MS-DOS.  The 
second, and possibly more problematic, is Banyan Vines install media.  I 
expect that at least some of the Vines disks are PC format, but I 
wouldn't be surprised if others were a Vines specific format that are 
read after Vines (a Unix) is booted.

At this point I'm more concerned with saving the content of / files on 
the disks than I am in saving a disk image that others can consume.  But 
I suspect this is biased in a non-trivial ignorance of what others might 
want or wish that I had done to preserve these disks.
