The IBM 5412 was the Model 12 of the System/3 family.
Ask Henk in Europe, he has one.
The 3340 was compatible with the System/3 line.
Ask William D. he bought my System/3 Model 15 with 3340 drives.

Subject: IBM 8" Disks - What are they?
Amongst the things which I saved from the skip I have
4 IBM 8" floppies,
the labels say:
MAP ENTRY DISKETTE **M.T.=5412**
P/N=4410338 E.C.=571989 DIAGN.DISK. 1
--------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS, 0D0-FFB-FFF-FD6-143-FC0,DD6,D44,
FC2,DD9,C17-FA0,FA6,FA7
--------------------------------------------------------
STAND ALONE DISKETTE **M.T.=5412**
P/N=4247991 E.C.=571931 DIAGN.DISK. 2

3340 MICRO DIAGNOSTIC DISKETTE **M.T.=5412**
P/N=4247992 E.C.=571989 DIAGN.DISK. 3
--------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS, C16-FA1-FA2-FA3-FA4-FA5
--------------------------------------------------------
3340 DIAGNOSTIC DISKETTE **M.T.=5412**
P/N=4247993 E.C.=571931 DIAGN.DISK. 4
--------------------------------------------------------
CONTENTS, C11,C12,C14,C15,C17-FA0,C18,C19,
C1A,C1B,C1F
--------------------------------------------------------
Can anyone tell me what these are and what they were for?
I realise that they were for diagnostics of some sort and assume that
the **M.T.=5412** is probably a machine type, but I am not familiar with
IBM's designation numbers.
At the bottom of the label is what I assume is a date in the format
77/01/05 - if my assumption is correct then these must be 30 years old.
