▸ Archivist's Notes

DEVICE: GreaseWeazle 4.1
DRIVE: TEAC FD-55GFR
SUITE: FluxEngine (decoder.retries=250, drive.revolutions=1.2)
ARCHIVER: Lee Smallbone
ARCHIVED: 2026-03-23 1100am (GMT/UTC)

NOTES:
Disk purchased as part of a batch of 150 or so from eBay. Possible Estate sale? All seem to have been owned
by someone called "Dave Osborne". Disks mostly have his name on, or "DAVE". All date from 1988-1990.

This disk media was clean. A mild spot of something on the disk, removal attempted but wouldn't come off.
Possible physical media damage rather than something to remove.

Disk drive heads thoroughly cleaned (3x 'gw clean' cycles with a isopropyl alcohol-soaked cleaning disk)

100% logical media recovery. One bad sector on fluxing but no material impact on the data contained.
