[Coco] Diecom games to PC

[help]

Can this copy process be achieved via coco serial port to pc serial port
(any software out there to handle this)? Or is there a better/easier
way...I want to preserve the software before my disks die on me...
(push'n 20 years!)
Thanks

Diecom games will prove extra challenging. Track zero is left
unformatted, but it contains a signal that the program loader needs to
see before it will continue loading the game.

Track 1 contains a single 1024 byte sector, containing program code.
Tracks 2 thru 16 contain 2 1024 byte sectors (more program code and
graphics). The remaining of the disk is ordinary: 18 256 byte sectors
per track.
