The Diskette Experiments, Phase III

Conclusion: The disk is unreadable due to a
physical (non-bit) failure of the disk jacket
and internal disk mylar heavily sticking to the
jacket itself.
My first reaction would the to open up one side of the jacket, slide out
the disk (and keep it the right way up!), clean the surface of said disk
and then either 'mount a naked floppy' or use a spare jacket.
It would be interesting to know if the data could be recovered if you did
that (in all 3 cases).
