There must have been hundreds of machines that used 8" drives...

PERQ 1, 1A, 2T1, 2T2, 2T4
Intellec MDS8000
Genrad Futuredate development system (I forget the model number)
Philips P851, P854 (and doubtless others)
FTS-88
DEC RX01, RX02 (used on PPD8, PDP11 machines)
HP9885 drive unit (used, normally, on the HP9825/HP9835/HP9845 machines. 
Could also be used on the HP9000/200 machines)

And that's just the ones I can see without getting up :-)

I think HP alsom made a thing called a 9895, which was an 8" drive with 
an HPIB interface, but I don't have one.
