No, UniForm was never produced for the Attache'; however, Mycroft Labs, Inc.
P.O. Box 4106, Tallahassee FL 32315, (904) 385-1141, produced a program  
called COMPAT which performed the same functions.  As I recall, it only
supported the 8 sector DOS disks, but a call to Mycroft should tell you
whether that is true and if it is still available.

Yes, some of them were built that way; in fact, the BIOS source listing
referred to it also.
