I need to convert my C64 Disks into PC. I built one of those x1541 cables now whats a good software to use to make backups? Mind you I have some Protected Disks that I'd like to be able to backup as well.

the catweasel is a pci card that, if you plug a 3.5" drive into you can read Amiga disks and convert them to .ADF format.
If you plug a 5.25" drive in, you can read C64 disks
