That's one way to find them. :-)
The printhead makes a nice whack at the end of each pass, the foam
bumpers inside have disintegrated.

With two CF cards of the same size, I've used this with NitrOS-9:
make sure /i0 and i1 have the same dmode settings in cyl & sid.
Then: backup /i0 /i1
Since I have HDB-DOS. For the dos 255 disc, I just did a backup of 255
to my 5.25 and then back again to the new one, and then ran link.bas.

Under HDB-DOS, one at a time, backup each virtual disc to a ram disk
from one cf before switching to the other cf to backup from the ram
disc.
