I have a flyer from a place in Columbus, Ohio, called "MEI/Micro Center",
which advertises 3.5" DS/DD floppies for $.99 each in lots of 50.  I called
them, and they declined to reveal the manufacturer, but said that they
are made in the USA, and all orders are guaranteed:

	"MEI/Micro Center's UNCONDITIONAL GUARANTEE: Your satisfaction
	is unconditionally guaranteed or your money back.  If for any
	reason you are not completely satisfied with any product purchased
	from us, we want you to return it to us for an exchange of the
	product or your money back."

I dunno anything about how well they live up to this guarantee, or how
reliable the "US-made" diskettes are, but their toll-free order number
is 1-800-634-3478.  I have never ordered from these people, nor do
I know of the experiences of anyone who has.  They might be worth a try,
though, especially if you are having real problems finding disks.
