Or UniFile and DuoFile.  :-)

I was really excited when a UniFile was donated to the Computer History
Museum, complete with Apple II interface card.  One of these days I'll
have to dump the firmware and figure out how to hack together one for
myself.

Back in the late 1980s the Mac software guys were all set to call
something "QuickDraw II" until I pointed out that it already existed,
but didn't run on a Mac.
