Subject: Hi Density Disks -- high failure rate

Has anyone else had problems with a high failure rate with the
1.44 meg disks? Since I switched last year, I have observed
a failure rate that's hundreds of times worse than the old 800k!
Sometimes a disk would fail within a day of use! Seems to do this
regardless if I use generics or name-brand diskettes.

I don't think it's my drive because I notice this both at work and
at home.
