Is your 8 inch setup capable of FM/single density?
I think that Dave has a utility to test that.
Yes, quite capable. It passes Dave's test and I have read/written in
single density when archiving other stuff. Archiving my FM/single density
POLY and Panasonic stuff was no problem.

It is more likely to be successful in 98 ("real
mode")
No, this (at least the executable) was definitely designed to be run in
Windows. It tells me so if I try to start it under pure MS-DOS.
Do you have access to any sort of
"flux-transition" device (Central point
option board, cat-weasel,
kryoflux, etc.)?
No. That option is out for me.
