<cr1901> philpem: If you saw my tweet... this next disk I'm doing is even dodgier :'D
<philpem> yeah I saw that... ddrescue on a floppy, oh lord
<philpem> that must have taken forever
<philpem> I bet the disc surface is extremely well polished...
<cr1901> I'm going to omit the runtime, other than I'm trying to rescue as much data as I can using the normal algorithm
<cr1901> and then going to direct mode

<cr1901> I'm vaguely aware that this is not a good idea compared to an oscilloscope, but seeing as I can't really borrow one or buy one rn, I need to consider getting one of those analog front ends for FPGA
<cr1901> and dump from that attached to a floppy in real time
