[comp.sys.amiga] MEI diskettes

Someone mentioned that they had no problems with MEI 5 1/4" disks.  Either MEI
has cleaned up their act or said person was very lucky.  About a year ago I ord
ered 100 DS/DD 5 1/4" disketts from them.  So far about 1 in 7 or 8 disketts wi
ll not format.  About half will format but with bad sectors.  The reason I say
"so far" is that i seldom use them for anything unless it's just for a scratch
disk.  Really bad stuff.

I just recently bought 100 DSDD 3.5 " diskettes. 
They were good, 100%
I have several friends who bought disks from them also and they had
no problems.

I just bought 50 from MEI.  Of the 13 I've formatted so far (talk about
an IDEAL use for multitasking!), 2 were bad.  I guess I should have bought
the _other_ 50 :-).
