My desktop machine has a floppy drive, I installed it just in case I want to inspect and retrieve some data from old floppies I have.
I still have some old backups made in floppies which I wish to retrieve one day.
I would make dd copies of those whilst you can - floppy disks don't last.
That's my intention. These are good quality disks, not the filth they sold on later days. I tried a decade ago and they were good. dd is no good with them, they have to be restored with proprietary software (PC tools backup) in a suitable machine. Which is why it is such a nuisance that I balkout at the idea. - -- Cheers, Carlos E. R.
