Warped or bent floppies

Absolutely. With 5.25" floppies, it's not even necessary to put them back into a sleeve before reading. With 8" floppies, which can be substantially more floppy and harder to seat in the drive without a sleeve, just put them in a nice known-clean sleeve. 8" DS drives will also likely get confused if you stick a naked floppy in them, so best to find a nice clean sleeve. Certainly, a common cause for "floppy won't rotate" is "the Pepsi sydrome". A good rinse of the media in warm water will help remove whatever soda/orange juice/kool-aid is causing the problem. -- Tim Shoppa Email: shoppa(a)trailing-edge.com Trailing Edge Technology WWW: http://www.trailing-edge.com/ 7328 Bradley Blvd Voice: 301-767-5917 Bethesda, MD, USA 20817 Fax: 301-767-5927
