Parquet floor refinishing question

I pulled up some old carpeting in my house and discovered oak Parquet floor!
It looks like it could be saved if I could figure out a way to sand it down
a bit. The pattern has the grain going in different direction. Any ideas
on how to get the job done?
Thanks,
--Jon

Chemical stripper? Or maybe a ROS and a 55-gallon drum of elbow
grease? Or, maybe rent a big-ass ROS (do they even make such an
animal?) and do it that way. OR rent a floor sander and do most of
the work, then clean it up with a ROS?

I'm just shooting from the hip, here. Maybe this can spark something
that will work for you.

There is a multi pad ROS for floors. It is especially needed for refinishing
the engineered wood floors that are a layer of plywood on top.
