When I was using my trusty Apple II, BASF disks were effectively write only. On the other hand, I've never had a Dysan fail, so I doubt it was my drives. Currently I'm using Brown 3" disks (DS/DD), and Sonys (SD/DD). Both seem to work fine. If you get a chance, I'd try copying your data to another brand of disks when this happens again and see if that solves anything. James E. Conley Usenet: {ihnp4,pur-ee,purdue}!iuvax!jec I.U.
