Posted: Tue Oct 18, 2016 9:09 pmAt the dump? Which dump contains a secret stash of disks? 
I have a 6128 CPC. Its not been run for a while but wont be too hard to dig it out and see what it thinks of those disks.

When in that state they can easily leave deposits on the drive head that can wreck good disks inserted later. Visually check them carefully before trying to read.
