Hello everybody.
Recently i got this part time job subtitling movies.
They use really old pcs(386 or 486 etc.)so i am required to bring in work with floppy disks.
The problem is that many times pcs at work can't read the disks, the tech guys tell me the disks or files have been corrupted. The same disks however work fine in my pc!
I really need to know what is going on. I was thinking that maybe new(?) floppy disks may not work well on old machines, maybe their floppy drives are messed up, maybe new floppies use new technologyp ) or something. For instance all floppies i've bought have Double Sided High Density written on them, maybe this is relevant somehow???
I'd really appreciate any input.
