S100 Computers - Vector Graphic 8" FDC

Vector Graphic 8 Inch Floppy Disk Controller
When it became generally available Vector started using the Western Digital FDC chip moving away from the less common Micropolis hard sectored disks to the more common soft sectored format(s). They skipped the single density 1771 generation and moved directly to the double density chip. They chose the true data lines input 1793 chip signals to the more common 1791/1795 chips. With the 1793 of course the board could deal with many disk formats. It was IBM 3740 compatible in single density mode (FM) and System 34 compatible in double density mode (MFM).
