I'm only a satisfied customer of this place - I have no financial attachment to them. ERM Inc., Electronic Liquidators 37 Washington St., 4th floor Melrose MA 02176 Voice: 617-662-9363 Fax (24 hours) 617-665-4956 Here's the price for DS-DD Disks: $7.00/10 disks $27.00/50 disks $49.00/100 disks $240.00/500 disks $455.00/1000 disks Minimum order $50, customer pays all shipping. The first time I bought from these guys I did it by phone and charged it to my credit card - delivery was two days later by UPS (but then, it's only about 25 miles from me). Second time I went there in person. These are decent disks. The batch they're selling off now was originally purchased by Lotus (also in this neighborhood) on which to sell PS/2 software. (Hohohahaheeheehee....) They've been mass-erased, and ERM will replace bad disks 1-for-1 with no questions asked, or so I've heard. My feeling about that is that I'm willing to accept a rate of about 3 disks per hundred as being bad no matter whom I'm buying from, so I haven't had to bother them about it. This last time I bought 200. (I immediately fed 50 of them to Quarterback, which I ALWAYS use in read-after-write mode. It only complained about one bad disk in 50.)

Febrary Computer SHopper, 'round page 120, look for the MEI ad. 49 cents a disk, minimum of 25. Sure, it costs a bit more for larger orders, but for small orders, it's much better.

Steve Wright I know that a number of others on the net have commented on MEI in the past about getting bad disks. I have ordered from them on 4 separate occasions, and have so far used about 500 disks from them. Not a bad one yet. I recommend them, but you need to be aware that others have had problems and you might get a bad batch.
