Actually that is exactly how I was able to save all of my 245MB amiga harddrive files. I had a 256MB CF card and bought the pcmcia CF card reader for $10 and it worked like a charm! I would prefer not to purchase separate software just to convert the floppies to adf. I guess I'll look around for a freeware utility that can do that.
Thanks again.
There are multiple free programs that will let you create ADF files from non-protected disks.
Check Aminet -
Aminet ADF SearchOnce you've created the ADF file to RAM or Hard Drive then you can LHA it and use Crossdos/fat95 to copy it to a 720K PC formatted disk. Then copy the file off the disk onto a PC and build your collection. Once done burn them all to several CDROMs. Now if they'd just figure out how to crack all those old games that copyrights have expired on that'd be amazing.
I hope that helps.

P.S. I just read up on the SPS to see what they do. They'll send you specialized imaging software if your Amiga can handle it. Then the software will make a special image of your floppy and you send the images to SPS. They'll analyze them and see if they can create an IPF for you. If they can, they'll send you back an IPF that preserves everything, including the copy protection. Sound like a neat project.
