Yes
The USA NMRI group had assumed that their Japanese counterparts would be
using PC formats, and apparently that was often/usually the case. They
could have asked the home office to send them machine(s), but I had some
handy. A friend was doing some engineering consulting for them, and was
thus able to solve the [very minor] problem immediately. I think that it
was intended to be a short-term loan while getting machine(s) shipped,
but I told them to keep them.
