Gordon.
I knew of folks that did this all the time. What
I remember reading about
the practice back when was that some folks thought it not to be a good
idea
because they said that the liner of the
floppy's package was supposed to
"sweep up" any loose particles of oxide or any other contaminants and that
reversing the direction of rotation would cut all
of this stuff loose.
I've got a few 8" diskettes that are punched to be "flippies" by the
factory; i.e., there are two index apertures (with a mirror offset) punched
in the jacket and labels on both sides.
