I haven't
yet seen a floppy disk (and I have some probably as old as 30
years by now) that have shed oxide.
I have. It's not common and some vendors were more prone to it and
humidity is a big factor. The earlier quality stuff as I said before
didn't do it. Bit I do have some crap Nashua stuff from around 84ish
that was known for it.
