I'm trying to read an old Apple floppy disk in Windows, but I'm having no luck.
I've tried both MacDisk and TransMac, but neither has been able to read the disk. Anybody know the expected shelf-life of a floppy disk? Anyone have any better suggestions for getting the data off of these things? They're old 3.5" double-density floppies .... Probably at least 6 years old.

Thanks,
Telstar

I've had floppys go bad in less than 6 months. The odds of it still being good after 6 years isn't very good.
