I've not used the P112 but I have used the combo part in it for FDC interface and it does/can work with 8", 5.25", 3.5" drive so long as you get the wiring right as they all differ especially the 8".?? It does do CP/M 8" SSSD format which was the primary interest (RX01 was secondary and does that too). The second half of that is the driver for the device as it can do it but it does have to be programmed. The combo chip is basically a 765/8272 with 9229 for clock and FDC interface inside and is not unlike the 37C65/37C765 and remote relations.? Basically it can do any fairly standard soft sector thing? assuming its not one of the odd 1771/1773 formats or based on some unique controller (intel 2D M2FM and RX02).? The chip used was from the PC world and most people that had issues with PCs and 8" disks were trying to work with existing PC FDC drivers limitations. Allison
