It’s always the second-last floppy in a series of dozens that is corrupted.

I can almost hear the sound of the FDD trying - and failing - to read that one bad sector.
Rar and par files, though!

Shame it arrived so late in the game, because it was really an ideal match for floppies. Five disks of data, two... three... four? disks of parity, use 'em only if you need 'em.
