Flash drives are still magnetic media. Those CDs could have been recovered. Often the drive hardware is the issue. Depending on whether or not you used CD-Rs, the write speed, and the software, the hardware may not be able to read that format.
I see that the floppy drive was delivered. I call foul. I used the same Amazon account, with the same options, and it was delivered in short order. Were it coming here, it'd have been weeks.
