8" SCSI interface hard drives

[Pierre Gebhardt]

Hello Ian,

yes, 8 inch harddisk drives do exist with SCSI interface. Seagate produced the Sabre drives with SCSI interfaces
with 360MB, 500MB, 1GB and 2GB. I suppose that they were made in the CDC/Imprimis facility, Seagate bought 
at the end of the 80's. These drives had sometimes a small console attached at the front, including an LCD-display!

Apart from that, Fujitsu built interfaces in order to attach their ESMD drives to SCSI-interfaces.
The drives then obtained the letters "KS" instead of "K" which stood for ESMD. I'm lucky to own such an interface, 
but I haven't had the time bring it back to life, as some electronic parts such as capacitors and resistors have been 
ripped off the PCB due to an excessive shock apparently.

Does anybody knows, if other SCSI-drives with form factors greater than 5,25" had been built ?

Regards,
Pierre
