I didn't bother to check stringy floppies. It worked great until the great
tape god, Rewindus, decided all stringy tape drive belts and all tapes
should turn to dust in one fateful day in 2007. I haven't seen a
working stringy tape in a long time. If I was to try today, I'd go through
10 before I read one stringy floppy successfully, and it would probably
only survive the one read.

Did the stringy floppy ever work well?
