Hello,
     
     You might try a company called Guerreo in Woodland Hills, CA.
     Talk to Andrew, (818)703-8890. He might still have an old Gerber PC800 
     still operating which should be able to read the 8" floppies.
     
     Regards,

As the originator of the "8 inch Floppies" question, I failed to 
communicate the correct question.  Let me try again.
     
We have data on an 8" disks.  We do not have an 8" disk drive.  The drive 
was on some old Gerber layout system, which was pushed over the cliff many 
years ago.
     
Before we got rid of the equipment, an incomplete transfer of data occured. 
Enough data was transferred so that everyone got a warm feeling that 
everything got transferred, but alas, not so.
     
So, here I am, with these two 8" floppies, an anxious Management, and a PWB 
requirement.  (Buying the boards where we bought them before is not an 
option)
     
My trusty board suppliers can not read 8" disk.  SO.....
     
How do I get the data off the 8" floppy to my supplier so he can make 
boards?  Any Ideas?
     
Thanks for the input so far.  You really make technet a valuable source.
