anyone remember 10" floppy disks?

all 256k of them! (or was it 384k?)

those were the days...
text adventure games.......DOS 3.2.......£300 for a 500k 30-pin SIMM....

The drive could also be dirty.  Go out and get a FDD cleaning kit (composes of a floppy disk but instead of magnetic media it has a cloth disk.  You put a few drops of cleaning solution, usually rubbing alcohol, and insert the disk and try to read from it a few times.)

They WANT you to do it every month, but its been over two years since I've done mine so...

for the same price you could probably get a brand new floppy drive
