The disks were imaged using a SuperCard Pro which is a flux level disk imager. 
It is a small board that connects to a PC type floppy drive and controls the 
drive directly. It steps through the entire drive surface making a map of the 
flux transitions so it can image/copy any disk. You could also use a Kyroflux 
or Grease weasel in a similar manner. 

I was able to use the SCP to image 99% of the 5-1/4” C64 disks form my 
childhood. It is a fantastic bit of kit.

Hopefully Brian will chime in about his new method of making boot disks. I have 
to say that the easiest route though is to get a REX and use TSDOS.

 

Did you get the RS-232 cable with the drive?

Jeff, I was under the assumption that those disks were hard to image due to 
their formating, is that not the case?

 

All I have is a USB floppy drive that I have successfully used to make 720K 
disks for Amiga/Atari ST, and a new-to-me TPPD2 drive that I am not sure is 
working or not. 

 

Thanks!

 

Chris
