Sony SSDD and Fuji SSDD both seem very reliable on both SS and DS
drives for the ST. My Mac and Amiga seem a little pickier and really
seem to need DS diskettes for DS drives for some reason. (I have about
600 disks worth of stuff on my computers (most FUJI) and have only had
two failures (coca cola incidents). BTW if you ever completely soak a
disk with pop or something sticky, pouring alcohol (pure stuff, not
rubbing) over the disk seems to save 'em.
