I've still backups back to 0.1 on 5 1/4 floppies somewhere :) Though
I've no idea if they still work :)

But do you have a machine to read them?
I've still a 5 1/4 floppy lying around, afaik it should still work with
current MBs.
My experience is that both media and drives suffer with age, even if not being
used.
while this is true, i /still/ have some full height 5.25 inch drives that take
manual adjustment for being able to read the floppies placed in them... and yes,
i still have the cat's eye disks used to calibrate them with an o'scope... i
can't say this about those half-height 5.25inch devices that i still retain...
many of those were not adjustable :?
