Basic info from Darksabre76:
 KryoFlux, Greaseweazel, SCP as options for most, ZoomFloppy and Applesauce (???) for C64 and Apple respectively

   * Compatible drive needed. 5.25 generally all work (flippy-modified drive for KF + C64 required), 3.5 can't be a 2.88 if working with KF

  * Software that comes with each dumping solution

  * Dump at least once and/or put retry count high, especially for older media
