I?ve recently acquired a rare complete set of 10 TRS-XENIX 1.0 Development System floppy
disks. I?ve done quite a bit of 8? disk imaging so I'm fairly comfortable using
ImageDisk, cleaning disk heads, etc. I?ve run into a scenario with these disks that I
have not had to deal with before. Since this is the only complete set of this software
I?ve ever seen, I need to be really careful with how I proceed. The media itself looks
pretty good. No scratches, no blotches. However, on a number of disks the sleeves have
warped. I am afraid that this will damage the media when I spin them up. I?m thinking of
cutting open the sleeves and placing the media in new 8? floppy sleeves. I?ve also heard
about baking the media, although I?ve never tried this and not sure of its value.
What are your thoughts on how to proceed?
