-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi carlos, for non standart disks you could use this hardware/software solution here (at least in my opinion for private use not to expensive): https://www.kryoflux.com/?page=home and by the way, i own disks from 1986 they work still pretty fine :-))) simoN Am 13.12.2017 um 15:07 schrieb Carlos E.

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.
