[Jeffery Brace] There is someone looking to make 8" disks from images that he has. He recently acquired a fully functional IBM 5110-3 (or 5120) with dual 8-inch disk drives. He found the image files to make 6 disks with various applications for this computer.

https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/does-anyone-have-a-working-8-inch-... It really helped, to point to a current discussion thread. Thanks to David Gesswein on that. Those interested, seems to me, should follow up *in that vdfed.org discussion thread*. I just did. Still looking for details about the IBM 5110 owner's situation.
