Commodore 8280
The Commodore 8280 is a dual 8" floppy disk drive for Commodore International computers. It uses a wide rectangular steel case form similar to that of the Commodore 4040, and uses the parallel IEEE-488 interface common to Commodore PET/CBM computers.
The 8280 replaced the earlier 806x series 8" drives and switched to half-height drives. Like the 8061/62 units, the 8280 supports IBM 3740 disks in addition to its native 500k group code recording format and does not have support in the drive ROM for formatting disks or verifying them; these features were provided on a utility disk which also contained a disk copy utility for the IBM 3740 disks.
