Radio Shack used to sell diskette cleaning solution, a fluid to be applied
to a cleaning diskette and run in a disk drive to clean the heads. It came
in a white plastic bottle with a flip-up spout. The contents, as listed on
the label, were: Fluorocarbon and Isopropyl Alcohol. My guess is that this
solution is no longer being sold by anyone (or manufactured, maybe due to
the fluorocarbon?). Is there an acceptable alternate solution still sold,
or is the market so small that nothing like this is still manufactured?
Could straight isopropyl alcohol be used on the cleaning disk to clean
floppy drive heads?
