While radial alignment would get in the way of reading those disks, it

Grab a known-good 8" floppy--the format doesn't really matter, as long
as it's fairly IBM 3740 compliant (Single-side, single-density, 128 byte
FM sectors). An RX01 floppy is good for that. See what IMD shows.

It is not clear whether the issue is with the disks, or with the hardware
