This has probably been asked before, BUT at least not since mid-May,
which is how far back our info-vax archives go.

My limited experience with MicroVAX-II diskettes has been: "Digital"
brand floppies work in the drives, but others do not.  Is there
anything really special about Digital's floppies, e.g. pre-formatting
or some other marketing conspiracy?  Has anyone had a successful
experience with non-Digital floppies?  I've never heard of a (commonly
available) >96tpi diskette, but is that what's required?  What's the
story?
