You can transfer many copy protected floppies by using SST to create a
NIB image, but it's a bit of an ordeal.  You use SST to create two
unprotected disks from a single protected disk, then use ADT to transfer
the two images to the PC.  There you either run SST in an emulator to
combine them, or use the "SST Merge" feature of CiderPress.

It's a tedious process (especially if you only have one 5.25" drive), but
disks that don't use track synchronization or nibble counting will usually
work.
