“All you never wanted to know about 8 inch floppy drives” by CuriousMarc is a nice video about the fundamentals of 8" floppy drives and how to deal with them from a PC.
Moreover, a helpful little 8" floppy disk Shugart interface 50-pin to 34-pin adapter board (available at Tindie, see the link) with various jumper settings emerged from the experiments which motivated this video and we learn all about what this adapter board can do for us (and why it has to do this at all).
