I remember the 5.25 floppies for the Apple Lisa that had 2 windows (the Lisa had 2 heads per side)
The 5.25" hard sectored floppies came in a choice of either 10 or 16 sectors. Northstar used the 10 sector version.

As for the Apple Lisa, I only got to play with one once but definitely a unique device. I remember wondering if the floppy disk was named after a waif-like model.
