I wonder how much challenge would be involved in making artisan batches of
5.25" or 8" floppy disks using cobbled-together or homemade equipment?
Is there ANYTHING besides floppy disks that uses large areas/sheets of

Is there ANYTHING besides floppy disks that uses a liquid magnetic media
that could be used for the coating, and might even be available, or would
that also need to be bespoke manufactured?
How precisely does the coating need to be put down?
