I have 2 floppy disks from a Lithuanian ZX-Spectrum clone. I would like to 
make backups (if they are still readable).

I have a 386 with MS-DOS and Win 3.11 and if needed I can connect a 5,25" 
drive to WinXP computer.

How should I proceed without damaging the disks:

  1.. To make a RAW disk image (and later copy to another disk)

  2.. Browse the software/run on an emulator

Thanks!
