I found these in my garage. Turns out that my dad used to use these at his job at AMD.

So there were a mix of 360k and 1.2 MB blank floppies. There was also a copy of Visicalc and a MS-FORTRAN disk set for a Texas Instruments computer.

Sweet, I just got a computer along with a bunch of 5.25" disks, including Microsoft Works and MS-DOS 3.3.

AMD, as in the processor company?

I have DOS 3.3 boxed on 5.25" floppies...the manual on that thing takes up the entire box.
