I consider Apple disks and disk systems to be generally unique to
themselves. I was trying to stay within softsector standard dives and media
and not looking at the specifically unique like the Apple or Commodore or
just about every other hard sector formatter (though the drives may be run
of the mill for these). Since the jacket is different, the media is again
only somewhat compatable.
there were plenty of "odd" disk drives and media out there like the
Amstrand 3" and the really old sony 3.5".
