[ARSCLIST] Magne-Discs

[Marcos Sueiro <mls2137@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings

I just came across two of Allen Communication's Magne-Discs, "for use 
with the Magnetic Secretary dictation and transcribing machine". They 
look like oxide on thin paper discs.

I have to assign them a condition rating for our database purposes. 
Would you consider them highly endangered? They are pretty flimsy, but I 
do not know how robust the track configuration or the oxide formulation 
were. They will probably get maximum obsolescence rating, though.

If you have any more information about these, please let me know.

Thanks!

Marcos
