Norman said - "This is true, however, a number of the floppies in the drive (some older, some newer than some of the affected ones) still work and still have the data. At least, I can read them. -------------------------------------
From experience -
If push comes to shove - peel off the floppy's slide-cover. The spring is now somewhere on (in) the carpet! Prise open the cover shell from the top (adjacent to the exposed platter, by the notch) - catching the r/w window-cover is optional. (A samurai sword is too thick for prising.) Remove the platter-padding from the *lower* (drive side) side. Insert in drive. Oh yes it will - and it may be ejected as 'normal'. Get your data copied (?????) Write a pointed e-mail on this list. ;-) There. That didn't hurt did it!
