Hi
I agree, the magnetic fields can cause havic for floppy drives. A
surprise to most is that these stray magnetic fields have a greater
effect on writing to the disk than they do to readingthe disk.
I'm not sure what the physics is that causes this difference
but experiments that I've done in the past show this.
