Perhaps Mattis will fill in the details.

Did the disks for the original IBM 23FD "Minnow" floppy disk also have
the sector/index hole near the edge, like the Memorex 650/651? The
Minnow was used as a read-only device for loading microcode, and the
disks were only factory written. I haven't seen an actual Minnow disk,

Sure, but were the holes on the outside, like the Memorex, or near the
spindle, like all later 8-inch floppy drives?

Hello Jay!
I think I sent a message related to these floppies before and since now is
long since the original message they're probably gone, but I need to check
to be sure.
I am interested in those oddball floppies with sector holes at the edge for
my Incoterm SPD 10/25 machine, are they still fo
Sorry. Should have been off-list.
My fault.
