I'd recommend http://www.pdp8online.com/mfm/ but am a little biased :-).
If you have it functional in a machine then methods such as Degnan suggested
will work. Others are more familiar with these method.
The MFM emulator can archive the drive independent of any host computer and
I have developed some methods that can recover disks the host controller
would just give read errors on. I need to get my VCF exhibit ready so won't
be making the next workshop. I can bring mfm board to one later in the year.
Late in the day at VCF east can get slow so might be able to try a quick
read try then if your are in a hurry. MFM drives are developing a number of
faults so may need more effort than time permits to get the drive functional.
Let me know if you wish me to bring stuff to VCF east.
