I thought this had something to do with FASTBACK on MS-DOS, which made zero
sense, as I was finding them on FASTBACK backup floppies.  Then I realized some
of the floppies were just simple data floppies.

Searching Google for anything related to the classic Mac OS has become more and
more useless (along with everything else Google is getting more and more
useless for). All you get nowadays is little-m macOS. Sometimes I have luck
searching for "System 7.x" but that won't work for Mac OS 8 and 9. :/
