Just found another reasoanble generic floppy today...very close to
fuij but I do not know who makes this brand called:
ViewMaster, the box is cardboard 2 piece type, white, with blue shade
going white downwards, says formatted for ibm compatiable, ViewMaster
certified 100% error free, MFD-2HD, box of 10pcs.
Cost about 7 dollar CDN. I formatted 20 of them without any
problems just in case!

BTW, don't do formatting on win95 when running 6 processes all idle,
it gave me lot of "baddie disks than straight dos. :))

But whom did this "ViewMaster"???

Nip!
