<ref group="nb" name="NB_NCR_FAT">Sources differ in regard to the first NCR data entry terminal integrating support for the [[File Allocation Table|FAT]] file system. According to [[Stephen Manes]] and Paul Andrews, "Gates",<!-- <ref name="Manes_1993_Gates"/> --> development was for a [[NCR 8200]] in late 1977, incorrectly classified as a floppy-based upgrade to the [[NCR 7200]], which had been released in 1975-11 and was built around an [[Intel 8080]] 8-bit processor, but was cassette-based only. However, the NCR Century 8200 was a 16-bit minicomputer, onto which several data entry terminals could be hooked up. [[Marc McDonald]] even remembered<!-- in 2012-08 --> a [[NCR 8500]], a mainframe of the Criterion series, which can be ruled out as well. Other sources indicate that either the NCR 7200 itself or its successor were the actual target platform. The [[NCR 7500]] series was released in 1978, based on a similar 8080 hardware, but now including [[NCR 7520]] and [[NCR 7530|7530]] models featuring 8-inch diskettes. [[NCR Basic +6]],<!-- TBD: This name and spelling at least in 1979. Also seen "NCR Basic+6", "NCR BasicPlus 6" and "NCR Basic 6". --> a precursor or adaptation of Microsoft [[Standalone Disk BASIC-80]] was available for them at least since 1979. One source<!-- http://www.thecorememory.com/forum/index.php?topic=83.msg342#msg342 --> claims that a special NCR 7200 model variant with two 8-inch diskettes and Microsoft BASIC existed and was imported by NCR Sydney into Australia the least.</ref>
