[net.periphs] Anyone have information on new Fujitsu drive?

Does anyone out there actually have their hands on the new Fujitsu M2333
drive? It was announced in Fall '83, but I am wondering if anyone has
actually seen a production unit. Do they work? Are there controllers
which will swallow the high data rate? (we are building one but it won't be
ready for at least 6 months.) Is there any interest at all?

[ For those of you not familiar with this unit, it is an 8" Winchester, 
  with a capacity of 337 megabytes, and a transfer rate of 2.45 MB/second ]

Thanks for any feedback....
