Well, there were original Osborne disks, labeled "Osborne 1"
And it booted from a double density IMD create disk...
This is why I'm convinced my Osborne 1 belongs to the last production,
with DD drives...
I powered it
and it showed a crisp and vivid monitor :D
I had a bunch of disks, but none of them worked (boot error).
So I tried them elsewhere: they were all Double Density (so I have DD
drives) but almost unreadable: the surface is dirty and covered with
spots, may be fungi :(
Original O1 machines were SD, not DD. Sounds like you're convinced
these diskettes belong with the machine, though.
