I have two 8 inch floppy drives and a supply of 8 inch floppiy disks.
I am going to play with some day.  I am going to connect them to  an old 
grey coco1 using the oldest disk interface cart witch was modifiable  for 
thier data
rate.
       If I found out that you really ancient  fellows were doing something 
unseamly
 back in the day, I going to report you to the proper authorities and  have 
you
sent away as a potential public nuisance.
