Dunno. Whatever 386 PS/2 w/SCSI and MCA. Seemed like a
2.88 at the time.
i believe that would be the 8556/8557 models. they had built in scsi and those
2.88 drives. the 95xx series did as well.

Still MFM floppies though, even in the ones with a separate SCSI controller. I've
taken 2.88 floppies from 56's and put them into 80's that even had an ESDI
attachment controller in them. Even the IBM hardware maintenance manual doesn't
state anything of SCSI in the floppies in any of the 85xx and 95xx models.

SCSI floppies do indeed exist. I own one, as I suspect
others on the list do. I discovered that they had wide use in the Motorola Delta-8000
series VMEBus systems.
I own a few PS/2's as well, and I've yet to see SCSI floppies in any of them. I
would think one would be more likely to find them in the bigger boxes, such as the AS/400
or RS/6000.
The AS/400 uses mostly SCSI devices. I haven't yet seen any units that have come with
a floppy drive on them (I've only dealt with the larger servers) but I'm fairly
sure that a floppy
option would be scsi. Now you have me curious enough to check out tech manuals at
work.<g>
