I'm using double sided, double density (maxell's at the moment): * 5 1/4 floppies were easier to make, and generally did not have anywhere near the density these micro floppies have. * un-polished single sided diskettes will wear-out your drive faster. Those floppies which are polished on both sides usually have the 'single sided' designation when they failed one or more tests on the second surface. I have yet to get a single error on any of my diskettes. ----------------------------------------------------- Q: I cannot seem to disable XON-XOFF (SERF_XDISABLED does not seem to disable it). Has anybody else had this problem? -Matt
