I use single or double sided floppies double density floppies in my rainbow.
We use a rainbow to format floppies for the micro vax.  DEC claims that hub
rings cause problems but to date have had no problems with hub rings.  Latest
batch of floppies were 29 cents per floppy (quantity 100) from some where in 
Ohio.  No problems.  To format them on the microvax requires a program that DEC
only provides with the onsite maintenance programs (extra money)
