How about the 3 inch Mitsumi "Quick Disk"? No sectors or one
sector, depending on how you look at it. Not a Shugart interface,
but used on early Nintendo boxes, Korg synths, Smith Corona word
processors...
You can also add 3.25" floppies to your list, as they use a more-or-
less standard 34-pin interface.
