Long ago there was an editing system (sound, videotape) made by a
company named Adam-Smith. It was 286 (pc) based but had (since RT-11
was what most people used and many still do) an 8" floppy drive and
(an important point) could also read DEC formats. I don't know what
exactly they used for a floppy controller but it might be interesting
to try finding one of those old systems. There is probably a rec.video
newsgroup where someone would remember all this...

Probably not - what I've seen have been Shugart drives.
