I picked up an auction lot today and it contained,
among other things, some
5.25" disks that are hand labelled as "1.2MB Test Media". I'm
wondering if
they are calibration disks for 5.25" drives. Realizing they are probably so
RARE that to L@@K at them should cost $20 :-)
Almost certainly they are exactly what they say, which is test media, i.e.,
the media vendor made them for test purposes before they went into volume
production. If they were calibration disks they would be labelled as
such.
I've got some Twiggy test diskettes made by 3M. I hadn't thought of trying
to sell them on eBay; if production Twiggy diskettes can fetch $22, I wonder
what test diskettes will fetch?
