They look like diagnostics (IPL disks are serialized). Anyway,
definitely worth saving and imaging.
Of course, I can only see the top two, but I bet there are other fun
things in the stack.

I recently acquired a small pile of 8" floppy

They're on my "to be imaged" pile. I don't have any hardware to go with
them, and would be happy to trade them away after imaging them. They apparently came from
a military surplus commo shelter whose innards were being scrapped out. I don't think
that the hardware is still in the shelter owner's hands, and I wouldn't have
wanted to acquire it anyway, but I thought it would be fun to try to preserve the contents
of the disks he had in there.
Based on the label picture linked to above, do any of you IBM fans know whether the
contents of these are likely to be interesting to anybody?
