If the seller has a few “worthless” diskettes laying around, he can
include one in each case and now the package qualifies under media mail
rates. I won’t speak to the ethics of it, but it is technically
allowed per USPS’ rules.
According to USPS, that is not acceptable for blank, nor even user-written
diskettes.
However, AOL disks would be acceptable!

When did AOL send out 8" disks?
They didn't.
But, a CD-ROM, a 5.25, or a 3.5" disk will fit inside an 8" box.
It doesn't have to be a tight fit.
