I can use them if they're still available. They were used in the
Tektronix 8051, DG Novas (IIRC) and the Altairs with 8" drives and lot of
early computers.

Are hard sectored 8" floppies of any use to

boxes of still shrink-wrapped SSSD hard sector disks.
I've sold a couple
boxes on epay, but action on them was lower than I'd imagined. Some folks
who resell alot of 8" floppies told me "good luck" because hard sectored
just don't sell.
I've seen new soft sectored disks advertised online for fairly hefty
prices
(don't know if they are selling at that price or not). What systems
made use of these? Any that I might own or want to own some day that it'd
be worth me holding on to these if I can't sell them for a price worth it
to drive to the post office and ship them?
