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.

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.
