If you want to *write* 8-inch disks, you need
something to generate
the TG43 (Track Greater than 43) signal that controls the write

go that route. It's a bargain! Hopefully the CPM machine can
do what I want. I imagine I'll have a burst of energy and will
write a bunch of software on it to do this sort of thing.
