The fact that it was ... in a package of similar size
does NOT mean
that it contains 8" disks.
Argh! I looked at the package for like 12 msec, hefted it for 29 msec to see
what kind of noise it made / how the internal mass felt, and _guessed_, based
on 17 nsec of thinking about it, that 'I suspect ... 8" floppies'.
Had I stopped to think, I probably would have come to the same conclusion:
for original PC; original PC only had 5.25 inch floppies (which I had to look
up, I couldn't remember off the top of my head - my first was a KayPro AT)
--> probably 5.25" media inside - but I didn't, I wasn't that interested,
I
just wanted to find a good home for it!
(And no doubt the seller made the same mistake, which was why it was in with
a bunch of 8" floppies...)
