This relates to a problem I've been having with my SE/30's floppy drive reading disks.
I'm assuming 3.5 drive heads can get dirty/sticky with deposits in old, chemically-degraded 3.5 inch diskettes are used (or even from a dusty environment)? If so, do cleaning disks for 3.5 drives exist, as they do for 5.25 inch drives?
I've asked a technical support guy at work and he seems to think not. Is this true? I've googled but that didn't turn up anything either? If so, how does one clean the heads on these drives, or do they never need cleaning?
