You will definitely need to scrounge...
BUT...
It may be fruitless anyway!
Floppies deteriorate with time, and with (what I suspect) the age of these old disks, it may ultimately prove unreadable anyway!

I'm not making fun of you but try a technology museum. They may have an old system with a working 8" floppy drive. If so, you might be able to copy the file into an email to send to yourself.
The other possible venue might be a computer club. There are a lot of people who collect old systems. They might have a system with an old 8" floppy drive.

Its greater desirable than in all likelihood that he will have distinctive HDDS which you would be able to go with from for INSERTION.
