The 8050 is a dual single-sided drive with full-height floppy mechanisms
(Tandon or Micropolis, IIRC); the 8250 is virtually the same, but with
double-sided mechs. The 8250LP is a newer version of the 8250, somewhat
different internally, and uses half-height drives. I have a little of
everything for the PET (including hard drives), *except* the 8" drives
and the 8250LP, so I can't describe many details.
