probably 16 sector. if they are 5440 (RL02-looking) probably
not that interesting, but if they are 2315 (RK05-looking) the pdp8
guys will want them.

I have some (about 8 or 10) 16 sector RK05 packs, which work in
a PDP-8. I need some good clean 12 sector RK05 packs for my
PDP-11. I finally got my 3rd RK05 drive working a couple days
ago, so now I have three good RK05 drives on my 11/40. Does
anyone out there have any spare 12 sector RK05 packs that they
don't need? Does anyone need some 16 sector packs (which I
think are less common than the 12 sector RK05s)? If so, contact
me off-list.
Merry Christmas to everyone here on the list!

Oops! Yes, I forgot to mention that. They do have 16 sectors.

I'm not a DEC person so I don't know what a RK05 or RL02 looks like.

OK it's a RK05 style.
Al said: but if they are 2315 (RK05-looking) the pdp8 guys will want them.
I did some searching about the Genrad 1796 test station and found that
some of them were PDP-8 based so it's probably safe to guess that that's
what these are for. I have four disks. One says System Disk, two are Test
Disk (1 of 3 and 2 of 3) and the last one is a diagnostics disk.
