There was very, very little 8" hard sector. In terms of microcomputer
systems, I can only think of two .... Altair, and Processor Technology. All
8-inch CP/M systems were soft sector.

Hi Barry
I'm just talking in general. I consider the hard sectored
8 inch to be the oldest to the newest. I consider 8 inch
soft sectored to next between the two ranges ends.
In any case, I do want 8 inch hard sectored.
