I recently bought a few unlabelled DSDD 3 1/2" diskettes from a nomadic vendor
at our local user's group meeting.  The guy, selling under the name "Computer
Supply" said they were made by "Hollenbeck" (Spelling?) and was charging $1.50
each.  They came without labels the first time I saw him.  The second time, he
had a few loose white ones you could take.

So far, I have had no problems with these disks, but since I have a Dataframe20
I am not a heavy diskette user.  Does anybody else know who this company is? 
Are there any other experiences with theses disks?

Oh yes, the Price Club in San Diego's Morena Blvd store has Sony DSDD in boxes
of ten with assorted colored labels for $19.99 (+5% member fee where applicable)
This may be better for those of you who aren't prepared to buy 50 at a time.
