one hint nobby : when i meet a floppy which show errors, i open the disk, and i clean the magnetic surface with a woman eyes cleaner (demak'up) in cotoon, on which i apply 70% alcohol, then i use it on the magnetic surface to clean it. Once done, the alcohol evaporates, then i use a dry demakup cotoon disk to wipe the surface of the magnetic disc one side at a time.
With this method, i have been able to get perfect dumps out of disks that were like fucked up at the start.
I use this terrific method on every disks i get or buy that are bitrotted.
the chance to get the content read correctly is beyond 98%.
