I suspected they were GE-PAC related.
Ended up getting them, we'll see if they are readble
He would have made 5x more if he wouldn't have ignored my offer, sucks to be him.

8 inch CDC disks from 1982. Maybe something interesting?
I know what the software on those disks is, because I have these floppies too (and the
system they're for). These are diagnostics for a 24-bit Honeywell 4500 process
computer (a successor to the GE PAC 4000 system; some pictures on my website:
https://vaxbarn.com/index.php/other-bits/654-honeywell-4500). I haven't imaged the
ones I have yet, but I will get around to it eventually. Mine are CDC branded floppies as
well, and the diskette drive that came with the 4500 was a Honeywell-labeled CDC drive.
