Quoting Dave McGuire <mcguire at neurotica.com>:
Grateful for the help, but all of those are the smaller 5.25"
cartridges. I have those already for the newer BBox - it's the 8"
BBox that I need them for. The 10MB carts prove basic operation
(reading at least), but I can't do anything useful unless I can write.
The 8" carts are more rectangular in shape - when they went to the
5.25" carts they started looking more like oversized 3.5" floppies,
complete with a shutter mechanism. An 8" cart has no shutter
mechanism - the heads get inserted through the short edge. In a
sleeve you cant' see anything, so the shape is the giveaway.

Point me at
some off list. I've been looking for over two months. I've
found 10MB carts (bought the only 5 that were there), an original manual
for the 10MB 8" units with software, and a controller card. But the
20MB 8" disks haven't been there, unless I'm doing something very wrong.
Just sent you four auction numbers off-list.
