Does anyone know where I can find one or two Orbis drives for 8"
floppies? I believe it's the only drive that will read floppies created
on an orbis drive.

Hi Thom,
I don't know where you can find Orbis drives. But if they are the original
style single sided drives then you can also look for Remex 8" drives. Remex
manufactured paper tape readers and punches and then branched out into
Floppy drives. They purchased units from Orbis and relabled them at the
time.
