Wang had word processors rival against IBM. We had a Wang mini that was doing word processing, Cobalt and FORTRAN. I had my first desktop computer about the same time as IBM’s first pc (8088). It was a NEC APC (8086), CP/M-86 with dual 8” floppy drives, no hard drive. 5.25” IBM floppy capacities were 166 kb for single density and 360 kb for dual density while 8” floppies for my NEC was 1.2 mb, double sided, double density. I’ve seen 8” floppies in place of 5.25 floppies on an IBM machine.

what was the storage in it?
BryanBeatsYouAll 3 years ago
im not exactly sure because i don't have a drive nor a computer that supports analog floppy cables, but id say something like 160 KB

I found and bought an 8 inch drive at a surplus store with its own power supply, so that is not the problem. I need to make something that turns the cable into the standard floppy ribbon cable. Does anyone know how to do this? Such as what the pinouts are and which should go with which.

i wish you could but im sure it requires cable modding because it uses analog signals where the 5.25" and 3.5" use digital

i am looking for a way to modify a 8inch floppy drive so it works on xp and vista.
you know, wang computer prouducts are always rising in price.
popmomcorn 3 years ago
well, it could be done with much pain, see the 8in floppy drive uses a non-standard power supply and cables so it wont connect easy
