'PUTERY PROMBLE GREETS 2011

Once upon a time on a computer far away (well, probably the attic) there was a little floppy disc.  This disc liked D&D,  and hoarded lots of lovely Word docs about it.  It kept on hoarding and hoarding them till it got too full, and got terrible cramps in all the diodes down its left side.  It needed to sleep it off!   So it's owner put it aside

Long ago, DrSolomon had utilities for grabbing stuff off disks in various ways. But I haven't used any of that stuff for over a decade...
Try Googling "floppy recovery".
We used to use one that made an image of the whole disk first, so if anything changed the real one we at least had a collection of bytes on some other medium

Cheers! Partial success. I now know what's on the disc, and I've managed to recover some of it. Working on the rest. Thank you.
