Now, what sort of 8" floppy: Single sided; Double sided;
Hard sectored; Soft sectored; Number of sectors; Tracks per
inch ...?

Not an issue. Open the media as a non-file structured device and go for it.
We had _lots_ of tools to discover formats.

You can't open a hard sectored disk in a soft sector drive, and visa
versa - remember the disks with the ring of index holes?

Your argument is absolutely meaningless to any photographer living or
dead.
And I have a masters in English, so that trumps your "major".

Ah, but do you have a degree in philosophy? How am I doing? English is my
second language.



I have an undergrad dual major in Philosophy and English. Your English is
very good; in fact, your English is far better than most of my (ex)freshman
students'. (I no longer teach.)
