Yessireebob, me to. I do a fair amt. of travelling, and I like the sturdier
case of the 3.5" microfloppies. (tho, if I could find more 2" drives, I'd
be _really_ happy then! ;-)
Tony, well, what's about the Fuji disks? I abused
them and used it
too much and they do last and keep data better. Dysan, Maxwell and
lesser disks gets the bit rot. The good test is to view them through
bright light and pick a very dark, uninform areas, if you see shades
of spots or stripes of lighter and dark areas, they're flunked.
My second choice is 3M but I wonder where they are still made. :)
Sure they are... AAMAF, 3M is doing such a large business in computer media
they spun off a separate company to do it. It's called Imation, and their
logo is a hand waving a wand, with lots of plusses, x's and o's (and prolly
pixie dust as well) in the wake of the wand.
Frankly, 3M/Imation are my favorite, as I've only had one fail on me (in
any format) despite 15 years of use... and it was run over by a car.
Speaking of Fuji, do they still make 2" media?
