From "Secret weapons of Commodore":

The 8060 series and 8280 were Commodore's only line of 8" disk drives,
all IEEE-488. The original, virtually unknown 8060 was a single drive
that stored 750K per disk; the later 8061, 8062 and 8280 were all dual
drives and could read IBM 3740 as well as Commodore GCR format. The 8061
had a total capacity of 1.6MB, the 8062 3.2MB and the 8280 1MB. The
slimline-styled 8280, the final 8" in the series, was powered by DOS 3.0
(the same DOS used in the 9060/9090).

That's theonly info I was able to find :-(

Michau.
