VICE 3.8 is an amazing bit of software. The greaseweazle image of a C64 disk read into a file from an IBM 4869 5.25 inch external disk drive unit works great.

I did have to do a SMALL amount of research to make sure I'm reading the disk correctly as the format type didn't automagically set the number of sectors correctly.
