Subject: Available: 8" Vydec compatible floppy disks
I have a box of 10 Memorex "FD VI" Vydec-compatible
8" floppy disks. These are single-sided, double-density
disks with hard-sectored index holes around the periphery
of the disk (on the outside, not near the center hole).
They are labelled as compatible with the Memorex 651 drive.
Note that these are not the more common 32-sector format,
or the even more common soft-sectored variety. As far as
I know, these are useful only for Vydec word processors,
a very early WYSIWYG WP system.
Early versions (PDP11/05, /10) of Monash University's MONECS used
Memorex 651 drives and the floppy disks should be compatible.

Garry
