I believe that the disks advertised for 29 cents are the older 5 1/4 inch disks.  That could be it.
							 ^^^^^
  ... older?!?  Some of us still have Apple //s and such, y'know.
  (and they almost certainly are 5 1/4)

  (as an unrelated recommendation, though: MEI/Micro Center has good DS/DD
   3 1/2 for only 99 cents each.  I've encountered very few problems
   with them (about one bad one in every 50 or so).  When I ordered
   similar disks from Media Source (at 1.09 I think), I got about 10 bad
   ones.  Hardly worth it.)
