EP07 still spelling it "Gabreil" while policing other people's spelling that's FOURTEEN letters - or were you counting with the gouda abacus again? still waiting on that seven vs fourteen answer btw. 19 days and counting

74 posts and lyrik finally posts a photo but no one noticed the calendar says SEPT 5 2006 which means the photo was taken TODAY and the disk in that hand has been sitting on a desk for maybe 5 minutes not in a archive. so much for the "preservation" angle

also classof04 i believe you counted 47tpi on two cuff photos. i believe bestbuddy counted it too. but you both counted it with a magnifying glass from home photos while twinpeaks miscounted folds by 3 in topic 712 and nobody called him on it. so maybe we need a standardized counting protocol before we canonize the cuff data

scribe of the grid isnt in this thread yet but give it 5 more posts and he'll cite column K from sheet 3 as if it applies to magnetic media. calling it now.

QFT. Kael asked the format question 67 posts ago and TwinPeaks backed him up. The sharpie debate is theatre until Dennis knows whether his drive can even read the media

Lyrik has a german pocket calendar AND a floppy disk photo AND is actually posting in 2006 whereas the rest of us are still arguing about imaginary spreadsheets

((the calendar showing today's date is actually a good chain-of-custody move, not gonna lie))

[bro is impressed by a photo of a calendar on a desk. the bar is on the floor.] anyway the real question is still WHAT DRIVE AND WHAT FORMAT. 75 posts and counting. my iMac offer still stands Dennis. it's purple and it's ready to read your floppies

- the twin one

if the disks have been sitting in a cardboard box at a yard sale in ohio through the summer heat then doesn't that change what we should expect to find on them - has anyone asked dennis what the actual temperature conditions were because magnetic media degrades differently at different heat thresholds and i want to know what we're trying to recover before we argue about the drive

^ this. Format question is the only question until Dennis answers it.

Scribe still in here talking about "format question" while my April 2003 cuff photo with 47 tpi sits ignored in the archive. Format of a floppy disk, format of a spreadsheet cell, you'll chase any format except the one that proves the weave

the floppy disks are real but nobody asked if they're the same 47 count as the threads per inch on my cuff photo!!!

75 posts and Scribe finally says "format is the only question" like he didn't spend 60 of them on ceiling tiles

^ EuroTrash_Herr666 thank you for AT LEAST acknowledging my 2003 cuff photos exist while the rest of this thread chases imaginary floppy disks nobody has read TwinPeaks miscounted folds by 3 in topic 712 and I've been saying this for WEEKS. 47 tpi is 47 tpi whether it's a weave or a disk and nobody standardized anything because the evidence is right there in my archive post from April if anyone actually LOOKED.

76 posts and nobody's asked Dennis what OS he's running

Have you checked if the disks are even formatted for MS-DOS or if they're raw sector dumps?

47 disks and still nobody's read one? what's the proof supposed to be
