Question then comes down to. What I am thinking of that requires hard sectored disks.
I can't imagine what you're thinking of. ;-) Hard sectoring refers to holes in the disk surface detected by optics to signify tracks and sectors. The Apple Ii scheme makes no use of these holes, and so is called "soft sectored." It's all encoded on the disk surface itself (i.e. in software - encoded on the disk) instead of being measured physically.
