I found a scrapped box today at work :
2 8" floppydrives , RS232 and printer interfaces. Internally an F8
chipset ( F3850 / F3852 / F3854) with a WD1771 fdc.
Strangely enough a set of floppies lay on top, labeled Cp/M, Basic CP/m
Pascal etc.
Not to the best of my knowledge. Most F8 implementations tend to be
RAM-starved.
I wonder if the box is just part of a larger system, or if the disks are
simply mislabeled. It's kind of nice to hear about something using the F8
other than the VideoBrain and Channel F, however.
