Yes.
And we will use them for Heath H8/H89 H-17 floppies.
I have a PERCOM floppy interface for SWTPC 6800 systems which also uses
10-hole.
And I have a Micropolis 5.25" floppy subsystem on a Multi-Tech (as in
modem) MT-500 that uses 16-hole media.
I am working with Dwight and a buddy who has a machine shop here in MN
to fabricate these punches. Dwight did the design and I had the machine
shop connection so we'll see what we can do.
We will build a couple prototypes first to iron out the wrinkles and then
should be able to make a final statement about the cost and how it will
work.

So
they're 10 sector 5.25" floppies. Vector Graphic maybe?
To the best of my recollection, the VGs were 16RH, not 10. To which end
I asked Dwight if a 16 hole model might be feasible.
