Another possible solution, if the 9845 still exists, and if there is an
HP-UX machine available, and if there is some disc (most likely a 5 1/4"
or 8" floppy) that can be used with both machines, there are programs
called 9845ls and 9845cat that can read the 9845 disc from HP-UX (from
where LAN or uucp transfers are straightforward).  I believe these were
on the contrib tape for at least the series 300 and series 500.

If you're really stuck and wanted to mail me a tape or 9845 floppy I
could probably email you the contents.
