These are new floppies formatted in Windows 95 on a Toshiba laptop. The majority of the files are zip files. The laptop is gone now, but my desktop computer with Win98 says they are not formatted or cannot read this disk. I do not believe the floppies are bad, and I have had trouble in the past going from one computer to another with a floppy disk.
