Acorn Disk Images?

Hi, I have lots of floppy discs for the Archimedies which I want to store on my windows PC as floppy disc image files. Any idea how to do this.

Update:

Oooops, forgot to mention they are 3.5 inch standard Acorn formatted floppy discs

    Why not load your Floppys to a file and burn to CD-R, or just keep in a folder on your PC.

    I have never heard of Acorn. If it was in windows, or an older version of dos or windows I would suggest using Alcohol 120% or Power ISO and create image files of the floppies. Sorry I can't help with Acorn.

    Thats tough - are you talking about the disks over 5 inches?

    (the real thin ones?) if so, a modern computer wouldnt read them cause the drive wouldnt have the software, or even the cable to connect to a modern pc for a start. The last game I played on an Acorn /BBC computer was a red bus game lol, but thats going off topic sorry..
