See my prior note on repairing damaged floppy disk media. If you have another
original Softporn that does work and an x-acto knife, you're all set.

Or, you can combine the above two into "the seller who doesn't give a shit". I
recently bought SiN by Activision because I wanted the box to scan, and the
game to play. The seller only offered two shipping options, with the cheaper
of them *omitting the box* (he opens the package and sends you just the
media). Nice "handling" cost, eh? Anyway, I chose the option *with* box, of
course, and it came in a Priority Mail box with some styrofoam peanuts; while
the corners weren't dented, it was pretty badly crushed. His excuse was "well,
PO isn't always the best shipping option." He didn't HAVE any other shipping
options! Geezus.
