Need NEC PC-8886

Does anyone have a working NEC PC-8886? I think this is the model number. It may very well be an NEC APC. At any rate, it would be a model with 8" drives. I have some 8" disks (I believe they are single-sided but the box they came in says "2D" on it; they are 256 byte sectors) containing some valuable geological data for the country of Guatemala that I am trying to recover for a geophysicist working on a project in conjunction with the UN. They contain graphical maps and textual data that would be very useful for Guatemala. If anyone can loan me a working NEC computer that can possibly read these diskettes I'll be sure you share in any praise heaped upon us by Guatemala, and I promise to share any villager women they bestow upon me for my efforts. In the very least shipping costs will be reimbursed. I have an NEC PC that would probably be able to run whatever is on these things (providing they are still viable) but it doesn't work. In the meantime I'm going to go retrieve it from my warehouse and see if I can fiddle with it and coax it to be reborn. Please reply directly to me as I am not subscribed to ClassicCmp. sellam(a)vintage.org Thanks for any help!!!
