[net.micro] Disk Surfaces

From: Willie Lim <WLIM@Mit-Xx>
I am not sure INFO-PC is the right mailing list for this.  I don't
know where else to send the mail to.

I was told that some kind of oil (or polymer) is used to coat the
surfaces of diskettes to protect them from wear and tear.  How does
the oil coating accomplish this?  What kind of oil is used?  Is the
oil toxic?  Do the surfaces need to be coated frequently?  Does the
oil protect the surface or the disk head?

Thanks and sorry to bother those of you who are not interested.

Willie
