WANTED: 8 inch floppy controller for IBM clone

I'm looking for an 8 inch floppy disk controller for IBM clone type machines,
preferably with software to format blank disks.  Software to read CPM disks
would be a plus, but I can write that myself if necessary (I've already done
it for Kaypro II disks).  It doesn't need to support 8 inch MS-DOG disks.

I know these were never common, but I hope someone might have one they
don't need.

Please respond via email or phone.

Cheers,
Eric
