Hi all.
I recently picked up an IBM XT, but as this is my first vintage machine I am lacking most peripherals and accessories needed for day to day use.
Something I'd like to pick up are some floppy disks.
I'll build our buy an XTIDE type adapter to sort out some more modern bulk storage.
I see various boxes of NOS on the likes of eBay, but I'm wondering:
* are there any brands that are unreliable that I should avoid, or
* are there any particular brands to shoot for due to generally being reliable?
Thanks.
