Fond memories! Eventually did the same on my C64 floppies, but only after having destroyed quite a few disks using my mom's blunt, giant scissors.

Used a soldering iron on my 3.5" disks, with a scalpel to take care of the excess plastic. Can't remember why I didn't use a drill, but I suspect drilling ran a bigger risk of particles getting inside.




I did drilling :) worked fine if I recall correctly. You had to spin fast, so it does not crack open the case. Memories indeed...
