One thing i have noticed though, is that my newer floppies is VERY unreliable as i cannot even format more than 20% of them now.
I guess it could be that your new disks comes preformatted 1.44 Mb and your old disks wasnt?
You know, once written to (and that includes formatting) in a hd drive (with its higher writing current) its much harder for a dd drive to reformat the disk.
It should be possible to "re-virginize" the floppies with a good demagnetizer but i havent tested that.
Ali: i understand why you think that new disks could be of lower quality but i dont agree with you.
I think todays disk are just as good or better than they were in the -90:s.
It is just the price that are lower, and thats a good thing.. :-)
