I have seen disks that were purportedly from NEC APC in many different
physical and logical formats, including:

8" DSDD (some MS-DOS, some not)

720K 5.25" ("Stand-Alone BASIC"/"NEC-DOS")

1.2M 5.25" (several different formats)

HD 3.5" (including at least one that is hardware incompatible with the PC
FDC)


Which/whose NEC APC are we talking about?
