I have heard of (but not seen) machines with 8" floppies that run
MS-DOS 1.x (not real sure what version). I could probably
contrive my MicroMint MPX-16 to behave in that fashion if I
installed an 8" drive on it to do the conversion. (would be
tricky getting it to support 5-1/4" and 8" simulatneously, and
maybe even impossible).
Numerous machines came out with 3.5" drives
using "customized"
versions of MS-DOS 2.11.
...and let's not forget a few systems came out with 5.25" 96 tpi
drives running MS-DOS 1.25 or earlier. These certainly would
support 3.5" 720K drives.
