Anybody got a PPG Waveterm?

[Tony Scharf]

We have some floppies this size at work we found in storage from back then.
 To our surprise they were still readable.  The data on them was worthless
now, but I was surprised.

It will all depend on how well they were stored.  If they were left in
drawer and not shuffled about or subjected to a damp environment they could
actually work.
