[Mounting a naked floppy]
It's much easier to deal with them in a sleeve.
The last time I had to do this, it was to recover a student's disk that
had been seriously crushed between pages of a book in his backpack. I
didn't happen to have a spare 5.25" disk with me either, so I couldn't
easily make a sleeve. On the other hand, I could upload the files (once
recovered) onto a larger machine until said student had some new media to
store them on.
You only need to sacrifice one floppy for the sleeve, as you can
reuse it for all the floppies stripped of their skins.
Sure...
