Hello Themistocles,

Thank you for your reply.

The label on these disk suggests that they are "CF2" disks. They have an "Amsoft" label. The owner of the disks confirmed that they were last used with an Amstrad computer a number of years ago.

I shall pass on the the details of the forum to the customer.

John
