I lost a sector on an MFS floppy right in the middle of an Excel spreadsheet. No backup, naturally. I would like to recover the file. Any leads on: 1) the format of an Excel file (I have no idea if this is proprietary or what) 2) how to circumvent the CRC check on the sector read and read in the sector anyhow (just to see what comes in). 3) Any other suggestions for how to proceed would be welcome.
