The real questions should be:
What speed does an 8 foot disk rotate at?
How big is the drive?
What is the power requirements for the spindle motor?
What is the capacity?
Were there any 8 foot hard sectored disks and how many sectors?
Were track density measured in TPI or TPF?
How much does a box of ten disks cost?
Is there an S100 interface?
Oooh, another potential stupid project :-) (I was wondering the other
week whether a reliable digital network could be made between two
machines out of a couple of paper cups and a piece of string ;)
