Well, the rescue disk works fine, and the 3 floppies I tried were all
from different sources.

Actually the first rescue disk I tried failed the second time I tried to
use it (and every time after that), but the second rescue disk seems to
repeatably succeed.

It seems unlikely that the 3 completely separate floppies would fail in
the same place without it being a symptom of something bigger...
