I have used Maxell, BASF, Apple, Verbatim.  I don't seem to have any
manufacturer-specific problems.  However, my external disk drive keeps
finding disks unreadable that my internal reads fine (this is my
3rd drive; my 1st was stolen and the 2nd had the same problem).

Does anyone know of a reason why the external would act up (flakey
drive tolerances, or some such)?

Also, I've heard that there is a program out there that will fix a
trashed disk.  Right now, when track 0 goes, my whole disk is unreadable
by Copy II Mac (2.0) or the Apple Disk util, or the finder.
