What kind of drive were your 8" disks recorded on? The HP 9885 and 9895 are very different. FWIW I have both. I'd guessing that the best way to read your disk would be an one of the NEWER 9000 series 200 or 300 machines such as a 9836. How many disk do you have that need to be transferred anyway? Joe
