[Mounting a naked floppy]

The last time I had to do this, it was to recover a student's disk that
had been seriously crushed between pages of a book in his backpack. I
didn't happen to have a spare 5.25" disk with me either, so I couldn't
easily make a sleeve. On the other hand, I could upload the files (once
recovered) onto a larger machine until said student had some new media to
store them on.
