Also, the Intel SBC 202 double-density controller uses an Intel-proprietary M2FM disk format, instead of IBM-compatible MFM. As such, none of the single-chip FDCs are compatible with it, with the possible exception of the Western Digital 1781 (with a huge pile of external support logic), and (less likely) the TI TMS9909.
You forgot the Signetics 8X330, which, given the date, would actually be quite likely and make sense with an 8x30x Microcontroller, given its use with early Winchester drives.
AES and HP both, at some point, also used MMFM--and, if I have some time to mull it over, I suspect I could come up with a couple more.
