Where to get HD Floppies?  IMHO, the *ONLY* place to buy floppies of any
sort is MEI/Micro Center (1-800-634-3478).
Though I've never purchased the HD disks, I went in with some other folx
and bought 300 DS/DD 3.5" disks... to date, not a *single* disk has
failed.
I'm very satisfied with the quality... shipping was a bit slow, but hey..
for the price, I can live with it... and the price?
DS/DD $0.45 each (that's $4.50/box)
DS/HD $0.89 each (that's $8.90/box) 
I don't see HOW you can go wrong.  Call them and I'm sure they're send you
one of their catalogs.  I just got a new one a couple of days ago, so
those prices are current. Hope this helps.
Geoff.
