What is a typical sales price for a functioning 8" drive? I have some YE data
YD180 "surplus to requirements". They run on +5 and +24 VDC. The power connect
looks like the connects on 3.5" floppies, about double width. All drives are DSDD

IIRC the tandon TM-848-2 drives use 24VDC motors... I always liked them
better than the shugart drives.
Me too!
Note that the earlier TM-848s used a belt drive, whereas the 848-2 is direct
drive (all 24VDC of course).
