Hard-sector disks

Hard-sector disks have multiple holes which define where the sectors will be. The disks I have, close to 350 of them actually, are 16-sector disks which have a total of 17 holes. Not at all suitable for IBM-compatible usage but I understand Commodore 64 and possibly other systems ignore the holes. Somebody must have a use for these, they are bulk-packed in packs of 50 each. I bought them at auction, thinking I had a good deal but not thinking enough. I would prefer that someone with a system which requires 16-sector disks get them. _______________ Barry Peterson bm_pete(a)ix.netcom.com Husband to Diane, Father to Doug, Grandfather to Zoe now and to Tegan at 10:23 a.m. on April 13th!!!
