I wonder why that would make a difference? I've noticed that what passes for 3.5"
blank media nowadays is downright
awful. I've got a "work diskette" that's a Verbatim Datalife with a
date
code of sometime in 1997. Like the Energizer bunny, it just keeps going
and going. Newly-purchased media seems to last about 3 months of use,
tops.
Are there any sources for good reliable NEW media?
I tend to use IBM-branded media. Works just ok.
But making sure to store them vertically definitely increases their
lifespan significantly.
