They look like diagnostics (IPL disks are serialized). Anyway,
definitely worth saving and imaging.

Of course, I can only see the top two, but I bet there are other fun
things in the stack.

They apparently came from a military surplus commo shelter whose innards were being scrapped out. I don't think that the hardware is still in the shelter owner's hands, and I wouldn't have wanted to acquire it anyway, but I thought it would be fun to try to preserve the contents of the disks he had in there.
