IMHO, the *ONLY* place to buy floppies of any sort is MEI/Micro Center (1-800-634-3478). Though I've never purchased the HD disks, I went in with some other folx and bought 300 DS/DD 3.5" disks... to date, not a *single* disk has failed. I'm very satisfied with the quality... shipping was a bit slow, but hey.. for the price, I can live with it... and the price? DS/DD $0.45 each (that's $4.50/box) DS/HD $0.89 each (that's $8.90/box) I don't see HOW you can go wrong. Call them and I'm sure they're send you one of their catalogs. I just got a new one a couple of days ago, so those prices are current. Hope this helps. Geoff. Disclaimer: I have no connection with MEI other than as a quite satisfied customer.
