I've had really great experiences with recovering 3,5" floppies from 40 years ago. Not so much with 5 1/4". Despite the ultra low density of 360kB on that huge surface.
- dasil003 2y agoI wonder if it's due to contact with the soft shell
- account42 2y agoI guess it also depends on the drives and 3,5" drives have seen continued improvement for much longer.
- wkat4242 2y agoTrue. For the 3,5" drives I simply used a USB version which are available aplenty. For the 5 1/4" I needed to use a Greaseweazle ( https://sordan.ie/product/1527/newest-greaseweazle-v41-usb-floppy-adapter-flux-reader-writer/ https://sordan.ie/product/1527/newest-greaseweazle-v41-usb-f... ) as there are no USB versions available. The drive I have is a good quality HD drive though (1,2MB) so it should be able to read 360kB disks with no issue.
