The issue is finding the right software to emulate the drive format I'd
imagine. There used to be some dos software to do this back in the day.
Acorn floppies are usually formatted using a different FS to a PC. Called
ADFS. But they can also be formatted for DOS and Atari, here on this RPC.
But if you reformat them you will lose the data will you not?
I'm not sure what other Acorn devices allowed.

If you have a drive that will read them, then the answer is to open them at
a low
level in binary and suck out the contents of all the blocks on the disc.

Then, at your leisure, you can decode the disc structure and recover what
you want.
