Hi,
Ebay item #47353951 is two 8" floppies. If you look closely at
one of them in the picture, it appears to be a diagnostic floppy.

I emailed the seller, and he said:
That floppy has a label that reads: "EMC
CORPORATION, MEMORY
DIAGNOSTICS, FOR VAX 11/780 AND 11/785, 053-240-001 REV A"
Hard to say what might be on the other floppy, it looks like the label
that had been adhered has popped off long ago.
We've long since decommissioned all our 780s and 785s, and a month or so
ago we were doing a "cleanup" of the shelves in the back room, and I
picked up a few "nostalgic" items like these floppies, but my wife has
said there's no room left for computer collectibles.
If you could actually use the software, that would be great!
I'm not interested in it, but I thought someone here might be.
