For fun, how's about we create a list of units
that
had 8" drives. Off the top of my head:
There must have been hundreds of machines that used 8" drives...
TRS-80/Tandy 2,12,16,6000
NEC APC
IBM System/23 Datamaster
Canon AS-100 (basically external,but all it's drives
were seemingly)
Xerox 16/8 (external)
PERQ 1, 1A, 2T1, 2T2, 2T4
Intellec MDS8000
Genrad Futuredate development system (I forget the model number)
Philips P851, P854 (and doubtless others)
FTS-88
DEC RX01, RX02 (used on PPD8, PDP11 machines)
HP9885 drive unit (used, normally, on the HP9825/HP9835/HP9845 machines.
Could also be used on the HP9000/200 machines)
And that's just the ones I can see without getting up :-)
I think HP alsom made a thing called a 9895, which was an 8" drive with
an HPIB interface, but I don't have one.
