Who else is with me? In the process of getting my newly acquired IIci running I've run through about half of my old stock of HD floppies (which admittedly isn't many anymore) that had bad sectors on them. I don't recall near this much trouble with DD media as with HD media (and I have a LOT more 3.5" DD stuff than HD). And it's not like they are all that bad a brands for the most part, and some are reformatted distribution media (from the likes of Compaq or Microsoft).
I guess maybe some of the equipment is showing its age, or by the time HD media had come along it was such a widely used and cheap format that quality took a dive.
