Thanks very much for that info -- I actually have quite a bit of vintage
stuff (early computers, etc.) which I *must* now get rid of, above and
beyond my 8" disk collection.

Well I do have a couple of 8" drives, they were working last time I
tried them - ( about 30 years ago )
But nothing you could connect them to that you could get data from, so
you would need a controller that could read your format.
Let me know if they would help.

Thanks David -- I'll definitely keep you in mind.
I'm following another couple of leads at the moment -- and I have more
disks turning up every day.

Loadsa computer / computing magazines free to anyone who wants to
actually turn up and uplift them.
(Too many different titles to list.)
Also loadsa Linux mags, ditto.
Huge box of Linux discs from mags (separated from mags.)
Am fed up trying to place these with archivists, so all gotta go.
Somewhere. Somehow.

The easiest way is to find a old computer of the same type that wrote
them, and transfer from there by serial or some similar method. Disk
formats were notoriously incompatible with each other! But if you can't
find an old machine of the right type, you'll need to connect
an 8-inch floppy drive to another system. That's hard to do.

I have some 8-inch drive in the loft, but nothing that will connect to
them. Sorry!
