> Second, on the topic of bit rot, what is the "BRQ" (bit-rot quotient,
or time to bit rot) for older 5-1/4" diskettes and EPROMS?

The whole "BRQ" thing had been discussed shortly after the beginning of the
list, and most of the wonderful suggestions/opinions/facts/data exists in a
FAQ that was created from many of the first discussions...

Unforch, I haven't a URL really handy... Bill Whitson should know of it's
location, tho. Hey-ho Bill--- are you up and around yet???

May have the URL at home, but Wifey wants shelves up tonite... I guess I
won't be dialing in this evening........

HTH, tho it's not much I know,
