I have had 2 bad "won't initialize" Apple disks. I had some problems
with Maxell. The only disks I have had no problems with are none so far
Nashua and Sony. Sample space is 5 Apple disks, 20 Maxell, 10 Nashua,
2 Sony. Maxell's have horrible labels, they pop up and get jammed in the
drive.
Hope to hear more, nothing is more frustrating than to have your program
go off the deep end, scribble on the disk and find that you can't read
the backup!!!!!! It happened to me more times than I care to remember.
Good trick to do if you can, call the eject system call somewhere about
main() { eject(..); rest... }. Haven't lost my source since then....
