If people are able to document the copy protections (the most games only uses around 16 different "page x line y word z" combinations), that would be very nice.

Manual scans are ALWAYS welcome to the community too.

Floppy drive emulator, sadly not compatible with my x64 but I think I've used it before upgrading. You will be able to use floppy images as the B: or other stations in Windows 2000/XP.

Maybe there exists a cure for your problem -- have you ever tried a freeware utitlity FileDisk?
It's not a perfect user-friendly (interface is a bit clumsy) but still it's worth a try (search for FileDisk):

or direct link:

Thanks a lot, I will test them tonight. I've made a small summary with download links in the first post (so new readers may see what we have done on the topic so far). I will keep that updated.

My pleasure, just one note... this utility has graphical interface but the using it is not the best - it needs so much clicking / floppy image handling but it's useful.

I'd love to help, but unfortunately all my original floppy disks have long since croaked.
