I have had too many 3.5" disks go bad, some my
own, some not, not
to ask why. I mean, is it just a property of 3.5" disks to be
unreliable, or is something else? Are there any "industrial quality"
drives/disks that are reasonably reliable?
Always reformat the factory pre-formatted diskettes before using them.
This increases reliability 3 fold in my experience...at least.
