Theoretically the following should also work:
- Amstrad 3-inch. Don't have one of these, don't feel like gutting
a
CPC/PCW/ to get one. I seem to recall the drives are 80 track and
Shugart interfaced, though.
- Zenith Minisport 2-inch. Assumption: the drive uses a Shugart
interface, and you have a junked MiniSport to "liberate" the drive
from.
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.
