As I mentioned in my original post, there's no shortage of web sites that offering "new" 3.5" floppies for sale.

My question is: Who manufactures them?

And: "How reliable are they?"

Verbatim used to have a good reputation.

Does anyone know where the current crop of floppies are manufactured these days and which are the most reliable brands?
