Facom floppy disks. I
have no idea if they are still good, nor do I know their specs as I
have no drive to test them out on. I am willing to send just one disk
to any interested parties for them to test out...If you're happy with
it and you want more, just let me know. They will be going to the
recycler if no one shows any interest.

Shoot me an email if you're interested
Kurt, these look like standard 32-sector disks from what I can see
(2D, 256-byte record length), but you can verify that by looking to
see if there is more than one index hole punched in the "cookie".
That is, spin the disk in the jacket a bit and see if you see a bunch
of holes appear in the index aperture as you do. A soft-sectored
floppy has only one.
This can help interested parties determine what you have.
