anyone? I've got several boxes of still shrink-wrapped SSSD hard sector disks.
I've sold a couple boxes on epay, but action on them was lower than I'd imagined.
Some folks who resell alot of 8" floppies told me "good luck" because hard
sectored just don't sell.
I've seen new soft sectored disks advertised online for fairly hefty prices
(don't know if they are selling at that price or not). What systems made use of
these? Any that I might own or want to own some day that it'd be worth me holding on
to these if I can't sell them for a price worth it to drive to the post office and
ship them?
The only things I have seen that use these are the Wang word processors
and OIS systems, maybe some old IBM system? Or were those soft-sectored?
If you don't find a use for them, I could use them for my OIS.
