help! how to recover water logged floppies?

by cbajpai＠attbi.com

I had a small accident in my basement a couple of days ago and in cleaning everything out I discovered an old box of 5.25 TRS-80/Heathkit floppies with all my old stuff on them were damp with water. I let them air dry overnight, but some of them still don't spin freely. What can I do to recover these disks - I hate to lose them. What sort of damage does water cause to floppies? Thanks, Chandra

cctech digest, Vol 1 #476 - 3 msgs

by musicman＠satcom.whit.org

I had an accident involving 2 liters of coke and two dozen of my prize 5 1/4" floppies. I carefully slit the top (away from the access hole) and rinsed them in a sink of dishwater, then rinsed and let dry completely, then slit new disks, remove the new media disk and put the old (now cleaned) media into the new sleeve, and taped it with clear tape. Then immediately copied the disks to good new disks...They worked like a champ and I recovered everything....

(or needing spares?). One is a Schneider 286 Tower PC (10Mhz), and the other is a Philips P3345 (16Mhz). Personally, I do not view either as being particularly noteworth (other than, perhaps, for sentimental reasons) .. but seems such a shame to turn them into landfill :-) Best regards, Roger For a better Internet experience http://www.yahoo.co.uk/btoffer --__--__-- Message: 2 Date: Sun, 20 Apr 2003 09:29:47 -0400 Subject: Re: help! how to recover water logged floppies? From: Marion Bates <mbates(a)whoopis.com> To: cctalk(a)classiccmp.org Reply-To: cctech(a)classiccmp.org Bummer! Well, dunno if this will be helpful to you or not, but we had a zillion 3.5" floppies from 1984 (first Mac) and they got immersed in water during Hurricane Andrew in 1992...they didn't work at all, so figuring we had nothing to lose, I slit the labels, popped 'em apart, and removed the disk itself, wiped down both surfaces with Q-tips and rubbing alcohol. Then I took new floppies and disassembled them, tossed the blank media, and put the old disk inside the case...taped back together, and almost all of them worked well enough to recover the data. The real issue seemed to be that the two paper pads swelled and wrinkled, then dried, depositing lint on the disk surface and impeding spin. The disks themselves seemed to weather the water fine. (The Mac itself survived Andrew also -- I still have it. Only hurricane damage was a couple dead keyswitches on the keyboard, I replaced those and all's well -- 11 years later. :) If only the roof had been so durable...) Good luck... -- MB On Sunday, April 20, 2003, at 09:07 AM, Chandra Bajpai wrote: > I had a small accident in my basement a couple of days ago and in > cleaning everything out I discovered an old box of 5.25 TRS-80/Heathkit > floppies with all my old stuff on them were damp with water.

I need boot disks for the following: Morrow Micro Decision MD 1 Epson QX-10 several different Kaypro models I tried to make a boot disk for the Morrow using 22disk and the 'STDCPM22' file at 'www.retroarchive.org'. 22disk did not have a file format for the Morrow MD 1, so I used the format for the Morrow MD 2. (As far as I have been able to find out, the MD1 had full height floppy disk drives and the MD2 had half-height drives, but they were the same capacity). When I tried to use the floppy to boot the computer, it would spin for about 15 seconds, then the computer would reboot. I was making the boot disk on a computer which had a 360K floppy drive. Thanks! xtguy End of cctech Digest

Game console up to $200

by cb＠mythtech.net

>A Magnavox Odyssey from 1972 is up to $200 with a few hours left to bid. I >would like to have one but not at these prices. I have one of these, but not complete. Its missing most of the little stuff like chips, cards, cash. Some overlays are missing, and I am pretty sure the rifle is long since destroyed. I'm also not positive if the unit itself works or not. Its one of the things on my list to install in my "retro" basement when I finally find a house I can afford. -chris <http://www.mythtech.net>
