Can some one here tell me the best way to read 8 inch floppy disks? Is there a system that can used to read these and have the data transfered off. What formats were common?
Any information on I would be very grateful.

Not too sure what format they are yet. They were used to for closed caption data, probably inserted into some decoder but they were essentially used to hold a .cap file.

I have heard about the museum. Can you refer me to any computer museum in the Los Angeles Area?
Cost isn't that much of an issue when purchasing this as there may be thousands to do so it would not be a one-time situation.
