“The SA800/801 Diskette Storage Drive provides the system designer solutions to his applications requirements with greater performance and reliability than cassette or cartridge drives, and lower cost with increased function over I/O and reel-to-reel tape drives.

The SA800/801 can read and write diskettes for interchange with other SA800’s, the SA900, IBM 3741,3742, or 3540, and with the IBM System 32.

The SA801 provides the same features as the SA800 with additional flexibility for those applications which do not require IBM compatibility.

The SA800/801R series is mechanically and electrically the same as the SA800/801, but has a narrower chassis width plus side and bottom mounting posts. This facilitates installation of two drives side by side in a standard 19-inch RETMA rack.”
