IBM 8 Inch Drive

We had one of these in our installation connected
to one Displaywrite system, if I remember well,
and another in the S/390 room.

I asked about it sometime ago. It appears to have
one 37 pin standard interface, but it's not clear what
is (or do) the other connector.

Regards

Sergio
