Your statements about hysteresis are *still* quite timely today. I don't remember where, but there was a disk warehouse in Los Angeles selling those floppy disk test kits even as recently as six months ago. Floppy disk drives are *so* notorious for developing various imperfections in how they track. That much hasn't seemed to change all that much over the last decade. <sigh> Perhaps someday they will develop a reliable floppy of some sort, but don't hold your breath. Hysteresis will always be a factor to contend with.
