I have just received 100 of MEI's 89 cent 
($0.94 with shipping and order charges) 
HD 1.44 floppies.

	of 100:
	
		92 formatted corrcetly on the first attempt with no bad
			sectors.
		8  had one bad sector on the first format attempt.

	On the second attempt:
		2 had one bad sector.
		6 formatted correctly on the second attempt with
			no bad sectors.
			
of 100, 98 formatted with no bad sectors, 2 formatted with 1 bad sector.
I will return the 2 and see what happens.
