He also mentioned he has source code on 8 inch disks
from an
Ohio Scientific, Inc. machine. He thought hed have more trouble
finding a way to read those because of its scheme of using an

if the alignment is good.
Should the normal scheme for
connecting a Shugart-y drive to an old AT-era WD controller
work to read these old disks?
Don't think so...
