 For an OLD PC  ( ISA slot )  obviously ....
 Does this "beast" ever existed ??
 Does anyone recall some manufacturer's name ??
 Have I any chance to find one on Ebay or other at this time ??
 
 Of course there were/are!  All versions of the Microsoft Compaticard (I,
 II, IV) have 8-inch support, though I'd recommend only the IV, since, the
 I and II use a non-standard method of switching data rates. Microsoultions
 even sold 34-to-50 position adapters. 
I can highly recommend the Compaticard IV. I had no problems creating a
bootable 8" floppy for MS-DOS 3
