8" Apple Disks? - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

This makes sense since he also has quite a bit of Lobo Drives stuff
including two Lobo HD/8" Floppy units and a dual Lobo 8" floppy unit.
One of the floppies had "CP/M" in the description, so it sounds like I
need to take care to keep stuff together.
And I will certainly keep my open for SVA and other Apple II controllers
... now that I know they exist :).
Thanks for the responses!

  (Typically they were used for interchange with CP/M
systems, although
 I know of a few used to exchange RT-11 and UCSD stuff.)
 The brands I remember are Vista and Lobo.  I think Lobo had patches
 for 8" drive access via Microsoft Softcard and CP/M.
