We use toms diskettes (1.7mb) everyday on dozens of notebooks and desktop systems - and have been doing this for the last 2 years. It is extremely reliable. We use them to reload our systems.
The best floppies to use are old microsoft windows installation disks and some of the cdrom driver disks. You have bad hardware and/or bad floppies. There is absolutely nothing wrong with toms distribution. Get a good drive - we use teac, but the are lots of other good ones. Paul Jensen Pc Rentals, Inc.
