Due to the almost total unavailablily of Apple floppies, we've been looking
into other sources.  We just got a shipment of Memorex micro floppies, which
don't have any form factor problems, but with which we seem to be having
an unusually large number of problems with read/write errors.  Has anyone
else been using the Memorex floppies, and what are your experiences (did
we just get a bad batch, or is Memorex having problems).

In fairness to Memorex, they actually sent someone out here to check out
our problems, and have taken a batch back to the labs for analysis, so they're
being helpful.  I'm just curious if our problems are local or not.

(The availability problem of Apple floppies is so bad I understand that
Apple will only let consortium schools and dealers order one box of floppies
per Mac ordered/delivered)
