I found a old Floppiclene 3.5″ floppy drive cleaning kit and tried it out on a defective computer/floppy drive/floppy that I had. It would constantly ruin “new” disks and leave them with few kb of useful space. If you like computer teardowns, check out some of the other videos. It also failed horribly!

I ordered the FPS1000 platinum back in April 2015 on kickstarters backerkit site, then in March decided to upgrade to the platinum double. Fast forward 1½ years and the projects stalls, a new kickstarter for the FPS1000HD was started (which was a new name for the platinum double), it was offered to get a refund
