No, the difference between the 800 and 801's was the clock
separator. It had nothing to do with hard sectored.
On page 6 the "SA800/801 Diskette Storage Drive // OEM Manual", dated
May 1980, states the following differences between the different
models:
800-1 Soft Sectored with an FM (single density) data separator.
800-2 Soft Sectored without data separator.
800-4 Mechanics only (No PCB).
801 Hard-sectored with an FM (single density) data separator and
sector separator.
NOTE
To convert a 801 to a 800 move the shorting plug from the 801
position to the 800 position. A 800 cannot be converted to a 801.
