   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.
