I found a ten-pack of 8-inch floppy disks that have me confused. They're
from STAM@, a name I've never heard of before.
It's clear that they're
hard-sectored, but the index and sector holes are
along the outer edge.
There's also a notch cut into the corner. Both of these appear to be done
in an attempt to restrict users to a single vendor of floppies.
Here are some pics:
