I am very certain that I transcribed Sid's old records on those small disks. His files were in Dbase III. Unless you have that old software program, you won't be able to read the disks. I converted them to Excel and printed them out. Gave them to John Rodgers. It was the list of library holdings, if I remember correctly. I lost all those files in Hurricane Ivan.
