Hey there!
If you go to the article and read directly below the original post, I walk through the challenges and tribulations I went through in merely trying to copy the disks. After nearly a day of experiments, I did succeed in making copies.
However my process of creating d64 files fails. I use what's called a ZoomFloppy. This device allows me to connect an ancient Commodore disk drive and see the files on a PC. Thus, I can move individual files over to the PC, or create entire disk images. Conversely, I can create new floppy disks the same way from d64 (or d71/d81) files I find online.
But due to this program's unusual track numbering, the disk image fails.
This is why it took me so long to figure out how to copy the disk, too.
In any case, I do believe there is a way, but it is a project I'll likely be attempting in the future as it's more involved.
