5.25" to CD Direction Wanted

Alright, keep the ignorant comments to yourself and give me something constructive instead (I am sure, to some, that that is an open invite to spam) ... yes, this is a strange case, but thought someone here might be able to give me some direction or someone might know someone.

Situation: I recently picked up a rather rare Avalon Hill game called "Dneiper River Line" (PC version(!)) from 1982. I played this way back in the day and would like to again. Herein lies the problem... The game is on 5.25" floppies (2) and I would like these ripped from the floppies and put on a CD. I can probably use DOSBOX to run it in Windows and I have all the pieces (manual, game board, counters, etc...).

I have looked all over the abandonware/old games sites and this game is not available anywhere except for a C64 version with an emulator, which I would rather not do.

Is there a service somewhere or if someone here has the means to transfer the two 5.25" floppies to CD? Cost?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

(yeah... I know... but just keep it to yourself)... ;)

this is not spam, bit i highly recomend an old game, on freeware, called Imperial Conquest.
Good luck with the other one.

you're going to be out of luck. Those floppies will be blank by now. I saved my old Apple II and a bunch of floppies. Plugged it in a few years back and not a one of the floppies had anything readable on them.
