Heh. And here I am trying to work out how I'll get the data off a stack of 5.4" floppies I just found in my own personal archives. Wish I had access to a particle accelerator and some scientists right now ..
- jacquesm 11y agoI doubt a particle accelerator would be of much use but with some clever scanning using a GMR head from an old harddrive and some analog trickery to amplify the signal and a couple of geared down stepper motors you might be able to build up a picture of the magnetic fields on the floppy without contacting it at all. Those heads are designed to track patterns much smaller than those on a floppy so you should be able to piece together the lines of the scan.
