	What kind/brand/type of diskettes does one recommend for the DEC
rainbow?  I've casually tried a bunch of diskettes and have had no luck unless
they are original DEC diskettes made for the rainbow, or were already working
with the rainbow.
	Again, I haven't given this problem enough attention to warrant true
concern.  I just want to save a 1/2 hour shuffling different types of diskettes
until I get it right.
	I'd like to know about cheap ones because I often use my rainbow to do
dangerous system tinkering and I'd like to have lots of backup copies of the
hard drive.
	I know I've tried DS/HD and DD/DD.  Maybe the ones I tried were garbage
anyways :-)
