I just got a box of 8" media which included some boxes with Fairchild
Camera logos I usually see on high speed camera equipment I collect.
There is something called a Fairchild Series 70 with what appear to be
floppies labeled for such a system in one box. There were probably
more, but they are full of Tarbell media, which I need as well.
Any idea what this is? I will try to rig something or find someone with
the means to digitize it and donate it to Bitsavers, of course.
I'm in the LA area (California) if there is anyone around. I have a
DiscFerret from Phil P. if someone has a clean working 8" setup and some
time to get it all running. I have 8" drives, but they are in unknown
working condition.
For what it's worth, it looks like the person with the Tarbell media had
the same problems I had and most other did as there are a number of
floppies labeled as to where they were written, since Tarbell controller
were notorious about reading a lot of media, but writing media only
Tarbell could read.
I also have a box with a Dysan reference floppy as well if needed in the
same lot.
Thanks
Jim
