It’s more about being able to read and understand the contents of the disk. The first line saying they will only use floppies with a Shucart interface shows the (low) level of knowledge of floppy drives and disks. That like saying they will only translate disk with labels written with a pencil. They are gonna miss a lot of stuff. I just hope they don’t throw away any disks they think are bad.
