I've asked this question before, but never received a satisfactory
answer.  Please bear in mind I live in the tropics, and cannot keep my
diskette collections under any kind of standard conditions.

Almost invariably, it seems,  diskettes more than a year old are
unreadable.  Is there anything I can do to save them?  What physically
is happening to the media that makes it (apparently) impossible for
the fdd to read the disks?

Thanks for any help.

Alan

I have steadily endeavored to keep my mind free, so as to give up any
hypothesis, however much beloved -- and I cannot resist forming one
on every subject -- as soon as facts are shown to be opposed to it.
