SGI used SCSI floppies too. The SGI ones are TEAC FD235 units with a motor
eject, and a small daughterboard fitted to the bottom. SGI also used
INSITE 3.5" flopticals which can be used as SCSI floppies. And Eltec (in
Germany?) made SCSI add-on boards so that standard floppies could be put on
a SCSI bus.
