will old disks damade a new miggy's floppy drive?

[pubzombie]

Hi folks,
I have just been given a whole bag of Amiga games on floppies. They have been in a friends loft for the best part of a decade and then in his garage for 18months waiting to be taken to the tip. Some are obviously moisture damaged as the ink has run on the disk labels, although my friend assures me they have had no direct contact with water, and the whole lot smells a bit musty. However, some are double bagged and look fine on the surface of the outer plastic casing and the internal data disk. I have just got a brand new Amiga1200 ‘old’ new stock from amigakit.co.uk. CAN I DAMAGE MY NEW MIGGY’S FLOPPY DRIVE BY TRYING TO USE THEM? Is there a way of cleaning them up? Will giving them a spin in an old pc floppy disk drive be any use or should I just bin them?
They are currently just sat in the front room warming up.
Cheers guys
PZ

I have just downloaded WHDload and registered it
i will not use any/all of those disks as there was actually mould on a few - an original North and South - and a money spider living in another:)I have put them away - I am a hoarder. besides I have just been given a few original disks by an old friend ;Alien Bread special edition and two microprose flight sims F19 and Knights of the Sky. have not tested them yet but dont think the later 2 are A1200 compatible.
cheers
