I just picked up a pair of SUPER NICE HH 8" floppy drives made by YE
Data. These are even nicer than the Mitsubishi drives that I found a
couple of years. ago. Does anyone have any setup/jumper information about
them? They're model # YD 180.

I've seen mention of YE data 8" drives several times in the CP/M newsgroup.
Perhaps a look at the archive will help you out. I can't imagine that this
has gone unanswered for the several years since the first mention I saw.
The mfg is still in business, so I'd hope some help might be forthcoming from
them as well, though they may be more difficult/intractible.

I'll do some more digging but a quick search found nothing. Discussions
about YE Data usually refer to the use of their 5 1/4" drives in early IBM
PCs.
The mfg is still in business, so I'd hope some help might be forthcoming from
them as well, though they may be more difficult/intractible.
I contacted them bia their website. I got their reply today. This has
got to be a classic!

Yeah I contacted them. You just didn't read far enough down.

Yean ... I vaguely remember that they didn't want to produce that
documentation for one reason or another. I do remember that someone in that
CP/M newsgroup found something about 'em, though. There was a fellow in the
UK who had some info somewhat more recently, though it's been at least a year.
You may have an interesting easter egg hunt ... Have you checked with Herb
Johnson?

Yes, I have to do more searching for the data. I thought someone on the
list whould have it but if they do they're not saying anything.

Not on the YE Data but this morning I was searching for stuff about the
Dynabyte computers and I found that he has a good bit of docs for them. I
don't need the docs for those but I'd grab one of those machines if I could
find one.
BTW I've been thinking about putting together a list of sho has what
docs for the 8" floppy and hard drives. Can you tell me what you have?
