I have a HP 9895, it is a monster of dual DSDD 8 inch disk drives with
an HPIB as Tony mentions. I also have two or three 9885s.

More systems with 8 inch drives are:
Lilith
Xerox 8010 Star, Alto
Tektronix Magnolia, 41XX series of workstations
Intel MDS 800, 330 & 380 multibus systems, Development systems MDS II
and III (it wasn't until IV they went to 5 1/4 inch disks.)
TI 990 & 1000.
Altos series 1000
Wang VS & OIS systems
Apollo 300, 400, 6XX
Lots and lots of CPM systems like Morrow, Cromemco, Columbia Data.....

To mention a few that went through my hands.
