I have a dual floppy system from Computer Automation that
some kind of insect had made a nest in a long time ago. I'm not sure how to remove
the stuff. I tried water but it has no effect. It's hard as concrete! I can chip it
but it takes quite a bit of force and I don't want to rip off any components under it.
Any ideas? Here's some photos:

Dirt/mud dauber nest... They can be removed with water and a
brush but it will take a bit of work.. Chip away what you can
safely, use something a little stiff like an acid brush and add
a little detergent to the water. What ever they add to the dirt
is somewhat water resistant but it will wash away after a bit.
