Tips for making Twiggy images

Hi LisaListers,

I took a chance the other day and bought an unopened 1.0 edition of the Pascal Workshop. I intend to open it once it arrives; since they aren't online yet, it'll be good to scan those manuals and hopefully get some disk images.

(I don't know if there are disk images of the released 1.0 workshop on bitsavers; there's a set of images called "wshp84" in /bits/Apple/Lisa/monitor, with "26 April 84" and "backup" showing on the pictures of the disk label, so it certainly could be a real copy instead of some Apple-internal prerelease, perhaps serialized.)

In any case, the Twiggies inside the box are surely of official Apple FileWare manufacture, which means that the magnetic media may have degraded somewhat already; such are the risks of buying unopened.

>From previous discussions on this list, it sounds like some of you
archivists may have managed some successful reads of disks with some degradation. What were your techniques? How did you deal with some of the material accumulating on drive heads and pads?

Thanks for any guidance,
--Tom
