It was a multiple cause issue:
1st: BIOS Setting was incorrect (had to enable 1.2MB 5.25 rather than
3.5 which was it set to - an oversight in the firts place, that occured

Hi Christoph,
In the end it turns out that the floppies that were lying in a drawer
for 19 years, are producing read errors.
Do NOT throw them out.
I have a tool that can rescue near all data.

have you tried using:
/dev/fd0.1200
I think 1.2MB is the normal size for a 5.25 dual sided floppy.

I thought that was the newer ones. Weren't the old style 5.25s 640K?
It's been so long . . .

Yeh, according to FreeBSD's /sys/isa/fd.c and /sys/sys/fdcio.h 360k 1.2M

is a 1.2M.
The fact that it's a Mitscrewme worries me. I've seen a lot of trouble

I thought that was the newer ones.
Here's the rundown:
SSDD 8-sector: 160K This is all that was available in MS-DOS 1.0, IIRC.
SSDD 9-sector: 180K
DSDD 8-sector: 320K
DSDD 9-sector: 360K This was the default starting with MS-DOS 2.1, IIRC.
DSHD 15-sector: 1.2G (At least I think it was 15-sector...)
Only the last two appear to
