I can see the root directory, but when I try to copy files from the disk, I just get empty files. I have never tried reading PC 5.25" disks on the Amiga before so not sure how it differs from 3.5". The disks look like DD and seeing as I can see the root, they probably are, but the question is whether they are 360kB or 720kB and if the Amiga is configured for it?
Anyway, if I can't make it work, I will be able to dump the disks in a real PC drive in a week or two.
Edit: I managed to dump them using the Amiga drive by setting the drive to 40 tracks and dumping it using TrackSaver GUI. Since the Amiga still thought it was a 720kB disk, it failed at 50%/360kB where I just canceled the operation. The images all seem good to me. I have put them in the Zone.

those are normal dos disks 3.30 you can get them on the web
the best way to image those disks is using a common PC+ a common 5.25 drive, you can do the images using the program "winimage" (IMA format)
