    Vlasak Computer Systems 'Megastor' dual 8 inches floppy drive

    Here are the pics of the controller & drives. The controller was purchased separately from the drives. I show the drive enclosure with the cover off because I figured the drives are more interesting than a plain beige cover. The left drive is a Siemans FDD=200 and the right drive is a Shugart...
