Dual floppy drives were standard with the 64110A Logic Development Station.
I've seen that shown in some of the manuals but I
suspect that they
would require the use of some kind of SRM (Shared Resource Manager)
software.
The standard 64000 system software, product number 64100AF, supported stand-
alone or clustered development stations.
You'd have a lot better luck finding a 7957, 7958
or 7959. They're a lot
smaller, newer and more reliable.
Note that support for the CS/80 drives was dependent on development station
firmware revision level. Version C or above is required for 7908, 7911,
7912, and 7914 drives. Version D or above is required for 7907, 7941,
7942, 7945, 7946, and 9134D/H drives. (Reference: ibid.)

Actually, you need the base OS to boot the unit and
the 80186 emulator
code.
The 80186 emulator software would be product number 64224AF. The diskettes
themselves would be marked with part number 64224-120xx.
