PCW 8256, PCW 8512, PCW 9512. I think, you refer to one of those. All of them have built-in diskette-drives for the rather rare 3"-diskettes, so if this is the format which is needed, you won't have much success with 3.5"-diskettes. If the machine really has an external 3.5"-drive, many formats are possible, even including the same as on the 3"-drive, which is single-sided with 180K and would not use much of a 3.5"-diskette.
