We also had some fun when the purchasing department gave us HD disks! (for use in TRS80 model 1 SD) They would sometimes FORMAT, WRITE, READ, and then minutes later, be blank again. The purchasing agent was in bed with somebody peddling RoyType, and kept substituting those for whatever we ordered.
About 4-5 years ago, I got a job of mostly Kaypro (DD) disks--about 400 of them.
My heart sank when I saw about a box (10) full of DSHD (3M) floppies were in the lot. Much to my surprise, each of the 20+ year old HD floppies read without errors.
