Subject: Acorn and 8" floppies...

Hmm, random find of the day. A stray 8" floppy here which came with a pile of 
5.25" floppies containing Acorn stuff that were originally owned by Jon 
Thackray (of Topologika fame).

Label as follows:

   EPROM routines  RB6
   Xfer
   Sorc
   App
   Acorn
   GS

It reads almost like it might be a disk of data transfer routines between an 
Acorn machine and some other box. Anyone know what systems Jon owned besides 
Acorns? :-)

Could well be something totally different, of course. No guarantee that the 
disk even "belongs" with Jon's 5.25" collection (it all came in a clear-out 
from Cambridge uni). It's got me curious though, but unfortunately I gave away 
my last system that had 8" drives a while back, so an attempt to read it is a 
while away...
