MPI made SCSI adapters for all their 8" drives, though I don't
know who used them in products. We had SCSI such as it was

them.
We made a SCSI adapter for their Sentinel 1/4" drive (for the
division in Valley Forge where they made the tape drives). Dec
had a weird interface that was SCSI, but they purposely screwed
up the commands so that they were incompatable with common
software and hardware and could not be plugged. Remember them?

From what I
have heard, they did make 8" SCSI
interface hard drives (possibly a Seagate
Sabre?), but
I was thinking about it the other day, and now I'm not
so sure. I have never seen one, nor have I heard of
one "in captivity".
So - do they exist?
