It is. I also happen to have a SCSI floppy drive that I think came
out of some AT&T box (3B2, perhaps?) It's a 34-pin floppy mech with
a daughter card that speaks SCSI. It is also 2.88MB (well... a 4MB
-media disk that happens to format under DOS to approximately 2.9MB,
he says, remembering a flame war in the past about floppy capacity
designators).
