   ugh. I got an old protocol analyzer with an unlabeled floppy disk.

   Is it the boot disk? the drivers?

   NOPE IT'S BLANK. suspiciously blank. Like, it was just reformatted blank.

     @foone oooh please tell me you’re gonna do a raw read and see if there’s still some data in there.

     @megamatt I did! Nope.

     @megamatt a quick format, no, but a regular format will fill it with 0xF6, yeah

     @foone that’s even more suspicious! Why not zeroes? Does a quick format on a floppy typically overwrite with that? Something’s fishy.
