I have just received 100 of MEI's 89 cent
($0.94 with shipping and order charges)
HD 1.44 floppies.
of 100:
92 formatted corrcetly on the first attempt with no bad
sectors.
8 had one bad sector on the first format attempt.
On the second attempt:
2 had one bad sector.
6 formatted correctly on the second attempt with
no bad sectors.
of 100, 98 formatted with no bad sectors, 2 formatted with 1 bad sector.
I will return the 2 and see what happens.
