Most of the floppy disks I saved no longer work. I wish someone would make a SCSI/dongle for them, with an assortment of software. Would be neat to see it fired up again.
I've seen original Macintosh disk sets for sale on eBay. You might see if you can pickup a set there. Did yours get exposed to a magnetic field? I had a friend who, not thinking, put his box of disks on a large sub-woofer. Later when he tried to boot some of them, not a single one worked.
Another favorite story I like to tell is about the Best Products store in Stockton, CA, who back in the 1980s could not figure out why they had such a large percentage of software returns due to bad disks. They had the worst rate of software returns in the entire Best Products chain with about 30% being returned!
I figured it out one day when I was in their store and observed their continuous floor cleaning they did. They had this huge linoleum floor buffer which was essentially a five horsepower electric motor on top of a circular buffing pad which an employee would walk up and down the aisles, swinging back and forth. HUGE magnetic field around that thing. I asked the manager if I could look at the returned sofohelves! The damn buffer was erasing the disks as the employee was passing the buffer next and under the gondolas where they were on display for sale! Nobody at the store understood the way magnetic media worked.
