Nope, actually the APC III has 5.25 drives. The original APC had the 8"
floppies.
From what I googled the APC III is using quad density
720kb floppies. It
ran a modified OEM'd version of MSDOS 2.11. Also apparently
there was PC/UX
a System III derivative available from NEC at the time. Alas, I've yet to
find images of either to this point.

I have seen disks that were purportedly from NEC APC in many different
physical and logical formats, including:
8" DSDD (some MS-DOS, some not)
720K 5.25" ("Stand-Alone BASIC"/"NEC-DOS")
1.2M 5.25" (several different formats)
HD 3.5" (including at least one that is hardware incompatible with the PC
FDC)
Which/whose NEC APC are we talking about?
