DEVICE: GreaseWeazle 4.1
   DRIVE: TEAC FD-55GFR
   SUITE: FluxEngine (decoder.retries=1, drive.revolutions=1.2)
ARCHIVER: Lee Smallbone
ARCHIVED: 2026-05-18 09:30 (GMT/UTC)

NOTES: 
Disk was purchased as part of a sizeable estate sale from eBay. Appears to be a 'working copy' of a PCPlus disk. 

The sleeve does not specify the date or issue (see disk image), just a generic 'MyDisk' floppy and a handwritten 'Formatted - PCPLUS' disk label on it. 

Filename observed during Flux capture at address 00001840 (C0H1S4) "SWIFT.EXE" checked against Disk Library Search and not found.

100% media recovery.

Disk returned to original sleeve for archiving.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Opening PCPLUS.BAT menu identifies itself as PC Plus Issue 18 from March 1988.

This magazine issue and associated cover disk at the time of archiving appears completely unheard of online.
