Bit banging a 3.5" Floppy Drive
Take a look at the Greaseweazle https://github.com/keirf/greaseweazle to see what a really high-end solution in this space looks like. It's intended as a from-scratch alternative to the beter known KryoFlux.

Everything I know about floppy disks
If you get yourself a greaseweazle (or have an stm32 blue pill laying around) it will allow you to create a disk image of the disks over usb

5.25“ Floppy Disk Imaging Manual (2018) [pdf]
Seems to use an older, non-openhardware solution.
These days, there's GreaseWeazle[0], setting the standard.

Backing up a few disks
Any PC floppy drive (they shipped in large numbers, so not expensive or hard to find), connected with GreaseWeazle.
- Is there an easy solution to making copies of a Floppy?

Just picked this up at the local auction. $100, hope I did good. Never had a Apple II, time to do some research. Anyone here willing to help me with boot disks?
The other Apple II bootstrapping option is ADT Pro. Using audio (or serial) cable you can load a bootstrap program and write a bootable disk from that assuming you have a blank floppy available.

First computer THIS old, $18 for the three you see. Do I need anything special to test it? My collection only goes back to 1999 so pre-VGA/USB cables are a weak spot.
But you're probably going to want to boot an OS so you can save things to disk, or boot some games that come on disk. For that you'll need some blank floppies and to bootstrap them from bare metal you can use ADTPro. You'll need to get or make an appropriate serial cable, the ADTPro site has details.

Writing an Apple2 boot disk from a modern computer?
Sort of, kind of. There’s a tool that lets you use an Apple II and modern PC in collaboration to create a boot disk off from a file on a modern PC and then have it burned to a disk on the Apple side. It’s called ADTpro and it’s a pretty neat program. I used it for a few weeks until I got myself a better disk emulation system with the Floppy Emu.
- Just acquired an apple iic, seems to work fine...any pointers on how to get started with it?
