hi. Recently got hold of a lot of 1.44mb floppies for my Amiga500. Getting hold of the DSDD variety is incredibly hard these days. I've had no trouble with them yet, but ive read they become unreadble after a short amount of time?
Is this true?

My other questions:

1: Will they damage my drive?
2: Once they become unreadable can they be reformatted and written to again?

Thanks in advance
Tony
