My experience using Maxell single-sided disks as double-sided disks
has been no failures on over 100 disks.
I tried a box of Sony single=sided disks and one disk
failed so I went back to Maxell. My source sells Maxell SS for $9.95 and
Maxell DS for $16.95 and for the difference in price I am willing to
take the risk. I make sure important programs and data are backed up on
at least two different disks. I think the risk of putting a disk next to
a magnetic field or pouring a softdrink on it or crunching it are greater
than the risk of it just deciding to fail because it started out single-sided.

This isn't for everyone and I wouldn't do it in a business environment.
I am just trying to squeeze every nickel I can out of my computer, my software,
and my diskettes.

Let the user beware!!!!!!!!!
