I believe so--at least the Famicom replacement drive belts work in the

(controlled a solenoid clutch) and the read/write data lines.
I think the Smith-Corona got something around 60K per disk,but I'd have
to check my notes. Using the USART, it was very simple (this was before
cheap MCUs).

Nintendo Famicom disk system uses some kind of
odd sized not swure disk.
Is that the same 2.8"? Mitsumi "Quick Disk" floppy used in the Smith
Corona Word Processor?
