Tez,
Here's what I would do in your situation.
Excellent, thanks.

Chuck, in the highly likely event of the formats NOT being common

Tez,
Here's what I would do in your situation.
If the disks are hard-sectored, forget it, unless you have the system
that wrote them.
If they're soft-sectored, dig through your
pile of PC "tweeners" using
Dave Dunfield's "TestFDC" and see if you can find one that does
single-density.
Then hook your 8" drive to the PC and use his ImageDisk to grab a copy.
That way, you can tinker with the image to figure out what's going on.
Failing that, you can pass the image to the list here and see if it
rings any bells.
