Hab ich gerade gefunden, ist echt nicht schlecht:

1. Never leave diskettes in the drive, as the data can leak
   out of the disk and corrode the inner mechanics of the
   drive. Diskettes should be rolled up and stored in
   pencil holders.
2. Diskettes should be cleaned and waxed once a week.
   Microscopic metal particles may be removed by waving a
   powerful magnet over the surface of the disk. Any
   stubborn metal shavings can be removed with scouring
   powder and steel wool. When waxing a diskette, make sure
   the surface is even. This will allow the diskette to
   spin faster, resulting in better access time.
3. Do not fold diskettes unless they do not fit into the
   drive. “Big” Diskettes may be folded and used in
   “Little” drives.
4. Never insert a diskette into the drive upside down. The
   data can fall off the surface of the disk and jam the
   intricate mechanics of the drive.
5. Diskettes cannot be backed up by running them through a
   photo copy machine. If your data is going to need to be
   backed up, simply insert TWO diskettes into your drive.
   Whenever you update a document, the data will be written
   onto both disks. A handy tip for more legible backup
   copies: Keep a container of iron filings at your desk.
   When you need to make two copies, sprinkle iron filings
   liberally between the diskettes before inserting them
   into the drive.
6. Diskettes should not be removed or inserted from the
   drive while the red light is on or flashing. Doing so
   could result in smeared or possibly unreadable text.
   Occasionally, the red light remains flashing in what is
   known as a “hung” or “hooked” state. If your system is
   hooking, you will probably need to insert a few coins
   before being allowed to access the slot.
7. If your diskette is full and needs more storage space,
   remove the disk from the drive and shake vigorously for
   two minutes. This will pack the data enough (data
   compression) to allow for more storage. Be sure to cover
   all openings with scotch tape to prevent loss of data.
8. Data access time may be greatly improved by cutting more
   holes in the diskette jacket. This will provide more
   simultaneous access points to the disk.
9. Periodically spray diskettes with insecticide to prevent
   system bugs from spreading…..
