...give up ;-)
Ok, 90mm is almost 3.5in, I see.
The later one seems to be the 3.5in MO, but
doesn't specify the capacity.
# I know there's a 640Mb disk, 230Mb disk, and more.

The former, is this the Imation's (former 3M) SuperDisk?
Not sure.

I don't know if there's any web-site public,
but I usually go to library when I need to refer to JIS.
You may want to find the JIS-handbook,
a simplified version of the actual JIS standard document.

Was it in japanese?  If so, how is this "shall" expressed?
# "The system shall..." is the rule of thumb, in english,
