Archiving floppies?

[Smokeless Joe]

I'm looking for recommendations for archiving my floppy disks so

I can use them either with a C64 emulator (like VICE) or with a 1541 emulator (like the upcoming 1541 Ultimate II+).

 

So far, I've gathered that the G64 format is the way to go and the ZoomFloppy sounds like a good option.

 

Any other file format options I should know? Anyone have experience with the ZoomFloppy? Any other hardware recommended?

 

Thanks!

Are these originals or copied (unprotected) disks?

These are original disks. I'm kinda hoping to upload at least one of them to the C64 Preservation Project.

I've had good luck with the ZoomFloppy. It works better with a 1571 than a 1541 when dealing with copy protected disks, but there are some protection schemes it doesn't handle.
