Possibly, but I ran the same test on about 4 floppies and failed in the
same way. I bought a box of 13 floppy disks a while ago off eBay, so
unless the box was kept on top of a magnet or something, I'd expect at
least one of them to work.

Some of them have quite interesting names:

      Rutherford Appleton Laboratory Software

and

      Code from Neutron Divider

So I am quite interested to see what's on them.

Thanks,
Aaron.
