1) Take one commodore, one 1571, one serial interface, one PC type computer.
2) Connect commodore to PC with serial interface.
3) Upload file with Kermit or DesTerm128, save to PC type floppy disk.

I know this is oversimplified, but should work.  I've done it several times
here.  My 1571 can read 4040 disks, what exactly is an 8080? (2 4040's?)?

Maybe try copying the file to 1571 format, then using Big_Blue_Reader.

The idea is to use a newer yet compatible commodore computer to get the file
to another machine (DOS).
