8-inch disk drives

Hi,

I'm new to the list and am currently trying to find a solution to
transfering data/software from 8-inch disks to a pc. 

We have a working minc-II with two floppy drives.  The  console is gone
but I currently have an old 386 hooked up to act as a terminal. 

What would be the best way to transfer the info from the old disks to the
'newer' pc? 

One suggestion was to get an old 8-inch floppy drive and hook it directly
to the pc, but it seems to me that would involve possible building a
hardware interface and writing driver software.

Any suggestions or pointers to web pages would be very welcome, I've
already spent a few hours searching the web without finding a solution.

Thanks!
Jo
