Do NOT use Scotch (3M) floppies! In heavy use here (CMU) they've proven to be
unreliable, and in some cases have cause damage to floppy drives through nice
things such as media flaking off....

I don't know if Kodak is any good or if it's US made, but you might look into
them.

Why the fixation on US manufacture? I prefer Sony floppies, myself. Never had
any problem...
