Correct.

On the 8" drive question, I haven't done it myself, but I've received reports from people who've successfully used them with the P112.  It involves pretending they're HD 5.25" drives and using a hardware shim to deliver more current when writing to tracks greater than X.  I don't recall the specifics though.

BTW, I'm the one who's been selling them since Dave Brookes stopped doing so.  I'm out of boards again and probably won't be doing any more runs with surface-mounts preinstalled on account of the difficulty of finding large quantities of new and pristine super-IO chips.  I might do a new run of naked boards.
