8" floppy system needed to recover old game data

Ah, oops. And there is me always using the UK acronym... :) I'm afraid I am not very familiar with CPM systems. Could you please tell me why a conversion system is needed? Didn't they use similar FDC chips? I (perhaps naively) assumed it would be some sort of a NEC765-derived one and we could get a simple track-by-track dump... While this is true, the problem we have is that although we have convinced the ex-developer to let us help them preserve this data, it will be very much harder to get them to go out of their way to get it done. This is the reason I was trying to get somebody local to them to help us do it, even though they do treasure it. It's a difficult situation for sure. I'll try again on the mailing of the media, but it will probably have to be a last resort. Ah great. Well if he does not reply to this thread, I will send them a mail. Thanks!
