Ironically, floppies made longer ago seem to last longer. Floppies (mostly 3.5") seem to have been made more cheaply / lest robust. Coupla years ago I went through all my 5.25" Atari disks (from 1986 thru let's say 1998), and only _one_ failed to read. (It worked at first, but failed later, when I actually went to copy stuff. RIP, little bits.) -bill! _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
