- I've recently come into contact with numerous IBM style (old
- mainframe/teletype) 8" disk drive mechanisms (dual drive cases). Are
- these usable with the ATR8000 (or MIO)? If so, what software would/could
- be used to format out those monster disks? I've noticed that the disks
- themselves are notated as: Double sided, double density. Does that
- indicate 360k of storage? I've heard rumors of 1.2meg 8"
- disks/drives.
-
- Any information on this project GREATLY appeciated.
