Indeed, I worked on the development of the B80 and the 8 in floppy was the system disk for some configurations. It held 1 M byte -- Was there any common code developed between the 700 and 1700 series? One of the things I had wondered about was on the front panel of the 1700 the '1' in 1700 was smaller than the rest of the digits, like it was somehow related to the 700, which seems strange since they aren't at all alike archetecturally. I'll have some more info on the 700 series going up soon. May be of use if they ever try to get the B800 running again (though I'm not sure if they got any software with it)
