[chbot] 5.25" floppy drive anyone?

[Marshland Engineering]

Maybe different here in NZ but we used to get something like bacteria building
up on old floppies, much the same as camera lenses get. Once you put them into
the drive, the growth ended up damaging both the drive and disk. Check the
disk is free from growth. If I had to read an old disk again, I would wipe it
with alcohol first.
