▸ Archivist's Notes

DEVICE: GreaseWeazle 4.1
   DRIVE: TEAC FD-55GFR
   SUITE: FluxEngine (decoder.retries=various, drive.revolutions=various)
ARCHIVER: Lee Smallbone
ARCHIVED: 2026-07-06 11:00 (GMT/UTC)
NOTES: 
Disk was quite heavily contaminated with mould. Full-clean in the 3D disk cleaning rig with medical swabs and rubbing alcohol.
Disk drive heads thoroughly cleaned (3x 'gw clean' cycles with a isopropyl alcohol-soaked cleaning disk), which had to be repeated throughout the recovery due to oxide shedding.
Majority of sectors did not read on first pass.
This has been a very challenging recovery, with approximately 20 passes required with cleanings inbetween, and it is not a complete recovery on this disk unfortunately. However approximately 95% of the disk was recovered in the end.
Disk returned to original sleeve for archiving.
