Hello Ian,
yes, 8 inch harddisk drives do exist with SCSI interface. Seagate produced the Sabre
drives with SCSI interfaces
with 360MB, 500MB, 1GB and 2GB. I suppose that they were made in the CDC/Imprimis
facility, Seagate bought
at the end of the 80's. These drives had sometimes a small console attached at the
front, including an LCD-display!
Apart from that, Fujitsu built interfaces in order to attach their ESMD drives to
SCSI-interfaces.
The drives then obtained the letters "KS" instead of "K" which stood
for ESMD. I'm lucky to own such an interface,
but I haven't had the time bring it back to life, as some electronic parts such as
capacitors and resistors have been
ripped off the PCB due to an excessive shock apparently.
Does anybody knows, if other SCSI-drives with form factors greater than 5,25" had
been built ?
Regards,
Pierre
From what I have heard, they did make 8" SCSI
interface hard drives (possibly a Seagate Sabre?), but
I was thinking about it the other day, and now I'm not
so sure. I have never seen one, nor have I heard of
one "in captivity".
So - do they exist?
-Ian
