Someone on Fesse Bouc just found a sealed box of SS/SD 8" floppies in
their garage.

Most FB types are too young to know 8" disks existed, of course.

Someone suggested punching a notch in them and using both sides.

Was that even possible on 8" disks?

(TBH single-sided actually-floppy floppies are before my time and I
never used 'em. When they were on low-end American 8-bit home
computers, this impecunious young Brit couldn't afford floppy drives
at all. By the time I could, 5.25" DS/DD was the cheapest drive and
cheapest media.)
