Hi
Not all 8 inch drives select out the index from the sectors. Only
the ones that say they are for hard sectored ( although, my
Nicolet 1080 uses the type that doesn't separate the two
and is hard sectored ).
I'd have to reread the documents on the SA drives but there
was something like the dash number that made the difference.
The 800/801 was with and without data/clock separator ( may
have these backwards ).
Look it up. The ones that state they were for hard sectored have
the separator.

The ones I'm thinking of are 8" systems,
where the drive has separate
outputs for SECTOR and INDEX. There's no compelling reason to pay
attention to INDEX in many applications--and some systems reflect this.
OK then, looks like I *do* need to read the SA800 docs then...
