    I don't know but the drive on the 520 is 5 1/4" and I think you said
that your disks were 8" so that won't work. Besides my 520 seems to have
problems.

    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?
