It used to be that EVERY diskette manufacturer would occasionally put out
a bad batch.
For example, Verbatim was pretty decent. Then they came out with
absolutely terrible disks. Then, when they fixed that, they came up with
the "Datalife" product name as a way to try to tell us that their new ones
were not the same as the recent crap.
Even Dysan, who had the best reputation, occasionally had bad batches.
Dysan's fall from prominence seems to have been due to betting the company
on their Dysan 3.25" software publishing venture, not from losing their
reputation.
But these days EVERY manufacturer seems to be putting out poorer quality.
And AOHell is sending out CDs instead of floppies.
