Well, the comment was about someone having something equivalent to the 
KryoFlux solution for floppies, but addressing the RM05 disk pack.

Do you have the equivalent of a KryoFlox to read that pack? Another disk

the electronics, and put in something else/new that will give you the 
raw magnetic fluctuations.
