▸ Archivist's Notes

DEVICE: GreaseWeazle 4.1
   DRIVE: TEAC FD-55GFR
   SUITE: FluxEngine (decoder.retries=1, drive.revolutions=1.2)
ARCHIVER: Lee Smallbone
ARCHIVED: 2026-06-29 14:30 (GMT/UTC)
NOTES: 
Disk obtained from a very large (200+) disk listing on eBay.
Disk was heavily contaminated with mould. No attempt made to read as-is.
Disk drive heads thoroughly cleaned (3x 'gw clean' cycles with a isopropyl alcohol-soaked cleaning disk)
Disk Recovery Method:
1) Disk unsleaved. 
2) Bathed in a 2 drops washing up liquid / warm water solution.
3) Disk gently cleaned with lint-free surgical swabs on both sides, and dried thoroughly. 
4) Magnetic media inserted into clean donor sleave for reading. 
5) Bad sectors re-read on varying differing settings.
6) Using FluxEngine media map, spot-cleaning with isopropyl alcohol undertaken. 
7) One final pass with revolutions=1.3 and retries=16.
100% media recovery.
Disk returned to original sleeve for archiving.
A run of Norton Disk Doctor reveals no file-related issues so all bad sectors potentially contained to sparse space areas.
