8″ floppy drives are the earliest form of floppy drives connected to early minicomputers. By the time of personal computers, 8″ floppy drives had been replaced with 5.25″ floppy drives. But those 5.25″ (and later drives) were still often based on the Shugard interface.
Adrian’s Digital Basement shows how he hooked up an 8″ floppy drive from a TSR-80 Model II to a 386SX computer – and gets it to boot! This is almost certainly something I want to try some day.
