I've been using very generic 720k disks (from MEI at $0.39) at 1.44 for
about 9 months now.  No problems so far, but it may be to early to tell.
Needless to say I have backups on 5.25 1.2m diskettes.  BTW, I bypasses 
the notcher method and installed a switch on the back of my computer that
switches pin 2 on the floppy drive High or Low (sort of like bypassing
the notch sensing switch).
