Interesting, I knew about *.wav files for data cassette images but not for floppies. Makes me wonder if there’s other ways to get the data off it that might be more accurate. Are hobbyist electron microscopes a thing yet? :)

- extraduder_ire 3y agoI don't think you want to get a floppy disk anywhere near an electron microscope if you care about the data on it.
- Bluecobra 3y agoI thought I remember reading somewhere that it is possible to retrieve deleted data on really old MFM hard drives with a electron microscope, hence the need for secure wiping/multiple passes in those particular drives, but would be impossible on modern drives due to the density.
