I think there must have been. Didn;t the
Commodore 8050 use 100tpi
drives? In which case the 8250LP ('Low Profile') and I guess the PET
8296D (Intenral drives, basically an 8296 and 8250LP built into one
case) must have used half-height 100tpi drives.
Stock electronics or "Commodore" style drive electronics? I don't
know much about these specific units.
Oh, very much Commodore electronics. In the 8250LP there's a long, thin
PCB between the 2 drives that contains all the 'analogue' electronics for
them (read/write chain, etc). And of course the Commodore controller board
wit a pair of 6502s on top.
