I'll say! I've never had as much trouble with 5.2

3.5" in recent years. Not just the media, but th

I agree with the media part. Used to use
Imation disks (bought from Argos here in the UK)
for my Amiga games and stuff. The disks
(particularly the casing) are rather poor,
especially compared to old Amiga disks I have.
I generally try to buy Verbatim disks, which
are of a far higher quality, these days.
However, they are hard to find - they can be
bought online, but you need a PC/Mac running
appropriate (e.g. up to date) software for
the internet sites (and no, you can't buy
them direct from Verbatim - they simply
redirect you to other online sites).
