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).
