I just acquired a large amount of vintage computer stuff (my dad is cleaning out his garage). There's a lot of Apple II and early Mac stuff, but also a pair of Osborne Executives. I remember using one of these when I was very young. So far, I've only looked at one of them and it's working fine after a cleaning and replacing some capacitors in the power supply. I also have a large number of floppy disks, including many disks for these Osbornes. I want to digitally archive these floppies if they haven't already degraded. I don't have any experience doing that, but it looks like I could accomplish this with a Kryoflux. Wikipedia says that, unlike the Osborne 1, the floppy drives in the Executive are Shugart standard. Does that mean that I can just connect one of the Executive's floppy drives to the Kryoflux to both read and write floppies that will then be readable by the Executive?
