 Bf> Funny thing... my 5.25" disks are MUCH more reliable than the 3.5" ones.

this isn't quite fair. the companies manufacturing them were in their absolute peak and nearly every disk was perfect in every way. early production 3.5" disks were very similar. 3.5" was allowed to both degrade in quality and prestige over time.. there wasn't incentive to make the same quality and they started including junk like plastic shudders
