They're a dream compared to everything else. |

I'm already through 20 and it's been smooth sailing. |

huh I never thought about that |

that the newer disk format, despite being larger, probably has more reliable media both in construction and due to being younger, and probably transfers faster than 5.25" media |

uploading is probably not the most time-intensive portion at all |

also for your average pc disk you can use an off the shelf usb drive instead of turbogeeking it through a 30 year old computer with a serial cable |

Agreed on all counts. |

The floppies are all reading, no errors, just slamming along. |

yep 1.4mb floppies tend to be easy, and even damaged ones are not particularly bad (though always check for mildew first! the vast majority of "bad" floppies I've had problems with just had mildew on the surface that was easily washed off) |
|

balrog |
if you see white splotches on the surface... I usually use isopropyl alcohol to clean |
|

bai |
I always wondered, do you have to crack the disk open for that or do you just open the door and spin |
|

open the door and spin |
