Lifetime warranty - of you, or the floppy disk company?

Anyone named John Romero gets free processing of disks with source code on them (even if you're not *that* John Romero).

One of the first authors of Apple /// software, and games in particular - Al Evans - had a trove of his disks imaged, and is sharing them. Apple /// enthusiasts everywhere can see what the zenith of development looked like in 1982:

@CHLThor Audio is tough to encode in a small space, so there's definitely not much hanging around on 5-1/4" floppies.

Protip: if you don't align your labels correctly, you might not be able to read your HD disk because you've convinced your drive it's DD.

@MatthewBogart Yes. I know a guy. And it's going to cost a small fortune to ship, too. The sandcast heatsink of a case is not to be trifled with.

A batch of 8" disks came in that had been exposed to some extremes of heat. The outer jacket had been deformed so much the inner Mylar disc couldn't spin. Not a problem for RetroFloppy. A little surgery later, all disks were recovered!

We've had a wave of DEC RX01 and RX02 disks come in lately - if you've got Digital Equipment Corporation disks that need extraction, let us know!

@clockworkquill Happy to be of service. Rescuing floppies is always a Race Against Time!

[RetroFloppy @retrofloppy]

When shipping disks to us - a 4 pound book isn't necessary for protection. Just a layer of cardboard will do! #howtoship

Client had floppy disks from XENIX. One virtual PC later, XENIX's built-in capabilities disks got the job done.

NBI OASys 3000 systems - now RetroFloppy can convert NBI 8" floppy disks to files you can read today.

[RetroFloppy @retrofloppy]

More digital archaeology from RetroFloppy: we can now convert Xerox 860 IPS disks! No typing pool personnel required!

Got an old laptop you can't remember the password to? RetroFloppy can get your old data back again. Stop by for a quote.

@furahi - alive and well. IBM Datamaster (EBCDIC) 8" disks was the latest project. Not much time for Twitter's 140 characters, though.

XyWrite, Nota Bene - remember those word processors? RetroFloppy does! Bring in your files for modern conversion.

[RetroFloppy @retrofloppy]

We've cracked the Wang word processor code! Still have Wang OIS or 2200 floppies? We can decipher them for you.

RetryFloppy is officially in the 8 Inch floppy disk business. Shugart 801 and 850 drives are online!

Wordstar 2000. It's a deviation from Wordstar formats prior and since, and not well supported to import into anything else. Now we do!
