I guess we'll leave the definitive answer to Pat Naughtin. However, it's worth pointing out that the 5.25" diskettes were a genuine 5.25", whereas the so-called 3.5" diskettes are actually 90 mm.
Because Windows XP allows you to change the name of a disk drive, I have my laptop's A drive labeled (in Windows Explorer) as "90 mm Diskette." (You can do that with Windows 2000 and Windows ME, too.)
