AW: SCSI hard drives of large form factors

Fujitsu made SCSI-variants aside from their long-lasting 8-inch disk drives. They basically hat an SMD-E to SCSI bridge added. I am in posession of a M2333K-drive with such a bridge-board made by Fujitsu. The drive has the model-number M2333KS and has a capacity of 330MB. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pierre's collection of classic computers : http://classic-computing.dyndns.org/ ________________________________ Von: Mr Ian Primus <ian_primus at yahoo.com> An: cctalk at classiccmp.org Gesendet: Montag, den 24.

I *know* for a fact that SCSI interface hard drives existed with 8" platters. I've never seen one, however. Does anyone know of any specific model numbers, or have any product information or pictures of such devices? Along the same lines, did SCSI interface devices exist with 14" platters? An option for the venerable Fujitsu Eagle, perhaps? I know that Adaptec made a standalone SCSI-SMD bridge board. I have one, although I've never been able to get it to work. I got as far as hand-crafting SCSI commands to try to get it to format the drive, and it would sit there, device active, but the drive never stepped or seeked off the first cylinder. -Ian
