Hi,

Ebay item #47353951 is two 8" floppies. If you look closely at
one of them in the picture, it appears to be a diagnostic floppy.

I emailed the seller, and he said:

> That floppy has a label that reads: "EMC CORPORATION, MEMORY
> DIAGNOSTICS, FOR VAX 11/780 AND 11/785, 053-240-001 REV A"
>
> Hard to say what might be on the other floppy, it looks like the label
> that had been adhered has popped off long ago.
>
> We've long since decommissioned all our 780s and 785s, and a month or so
> ago we were doing a "cleanup" of the shelves in the back room, and I
> picked up a few "nostalgic" items like these floppies, but my wife has
> said there's no room left for computer collectibles.
>
> If you could actually use the software, that would be great!

I'm not interested in it, but I thought someone here might be.
