I'm in the US (a bit far away), but I can do it.
It can be done on any old DOS/WINDOWS machine with a floppy using HP LIF utilities - you do not necessarily need an 8510.

The program is picky about the floppy disk controller, IIRC.? It expects direct control of the hardware rather than going through 47 different indirects to control something that is "close".
Definitely an old MS-Dos machine ought to do it.
If you have a friend with some of the HP logic analyzers with floppies, some advertise the capability of saving in either LIF or MSDOS format.? You might be lucky in having such a machine available, and it might be worth a try.

At least, I cant start it under Win10 and virtual machines.

Hi,
does anybody know if it is possible using the HP8510C to copy
files from the internal floppy to an externally attached LIF
drive?
Else, is there any way to get data from the LIF floppy to a PC?
Best regards,
Tom DG8SAQ
I have never used it, but
might be worth looking into.
