Process Polaroid Type55 manually

[TheFlyingCamera]

Has anyone here processed Polaroid Type 55 by NOT using the instant film chemistry but rather pulled the negative out of the packet and developed it in (insert your developer of choice here)? I'd be running mine in Pyrocat HD, but any results would be appreciated. I have two boxes of the stuff left, and I don't know if the chemical pods are any good in it, or if they'll process without leaving gaps/smears/etc. so I want to try and use it without using the chemical pods.

I did that several times back in the 1980s before Kodak and Polaroid had their falling out and the film was Panatomic X. I processed it in HC110. I think after that the polaroid film at least for awhile became some fuji film. I think I have some old T55 sitting around somewhere too.
