Someone in the UK who can make an 8" disk from my NEC APC images?

Yes and no.   It was buried in a lot of Japanese lab equipment and 
some industrial stuff that was imported here to the extent that we 
did a small business in equipping PeeCees with diskette-handling 
ability for the 9801. 

If you have a USB floppy or IDE Superdrive on your system, it 
probably handles DOS-V diskettes without so much as blinking.  I know 
that Win2K handles the format just fine, but won't let you format 
diskettes in DOS-V format.

There was an enterprise down in San Diego who could obtain just about 
anything from a complete 9801 system to parts and doucmentation.  All 
gone now.

Cheers,
Chuck
