reading legacy floppy disks

I have a bunch of 7" (yes, 7-inch) double-sided, high density (something
over 1MB per disk) floppies that I want to try to read.  I really just
want a dump onto a CD.  I can decode the format (UCSD P-System) and extract the
data.  These were probably last used 20 years ago, but have been stored
fairly carefully.  I don't have much of a budget for this, but I would
really like to read them, if possible.

Any ideas, offers, or recommendations much appreciated!

Thanks  ../Dave

(P.S. I know this is kinda off-topic, but I don't know of a
more-knowledgeable Toronto group.)
