Make DSK image from protected floppy

So, why don't some clever programmer create a perfect-clone proggy. I made protected disks in the past, there's several techniques. Like non-formatted sectors, extra tracks etc. Dunno much about emulation, but would it be THAT hard? Maybe it's the PC-diskdrive that's the problem? Else we could whip up a disk images system on MSX itself using a HD for storing that image

hmm....

There're already several great clone tools for PC. Imagedisk and recently Samdisk are the most advanced and they can clone almost faultlessly any disk. Imagedisk only work in a pure DOS setup and Samdisk can work with modern OS. The later can also copy several protection schemes but mostly from Spectrum and Amstrad world. I've used it to clone MSX (standard) disks and it works.

Nice... Gonna give Samdisk a try !

It lets me think that in some cases the trick is to copy first the original disk on another disk before making the image of the second disk in stead of the original disk.

Hmm it seems that Sandisk nor Imagedisk can NOT create .DMK images (only RESTORE .DMK )
Is there a PC tool that actually can create a .DMK image from a floppysdisk ?
