I’ve got some documents on a 3 ½ floppy (yes, I find them quite useful, especially for transferring between my computer and my partner’s).
Unfortunately, the metal slidy thing at the bottom has become bent so badly it can’t be re-straightened (kids Huh!)
Anyone know how I can retrieve this floppy please??
