Generally these were the generic disks PiM sends Fish disks on, however I also had one of my Fuji floppys fail. Since I had heard (here) many recommendations for Sony floppys, I search about this cow town until I found the only supplier with real Sonys with Sony labels in a Sony box. (Several had floppys they claimed were made by Sony, but with their own Logo.) I was aghast when 3 out of the 10 failed. In disgust, I went back to buying only Fuji. I now have about 150 Fuji disks. Still, only one of them has failed. Charles Brown hp-pcd!charles The opinions expressed here do not represent those of my employer.
