	I have been using Disk 1 from Godbout for 2 years now without
any trouble with 8" disks.  Godbout/CompuPro has now a new model of
Disk 1 which runs both 5" and 8" disks in combination.  In view of
IBM/MS-DOS popularity, I would advise anyone to think of this capability
in any controller they intend to purchase.
	Another consideration is whether the controller can do DMA,
which is much faster than programmed I/O (but wont work with some older
dynamic memories).
