If I recall correctly, you can open a disk file in 8-bit mode by using
'(out tty image) or '(in tty image). The combination of TTY and IMAGE causes
Lisp to use a byte size of 8 in the Openf% call.
This may work for a disk file, but it doesn't work on CHAOSnet.
I tried all possible modes about a year ago and didn't have
any success.
