This is just my personal opinion, but I would be very careful about
buying Dysan 3.5 inch disks. Dysan, for a very long time, refused to even
consider making a 3.5 inch disk in favor of their own format. When their
microfloppy program bit the dust a few months ago, they rushed to get a 3.5 inch
disk ready for the market. I haven't used their disks, so I cannot say if they
are actually good or bad, but it seems to me that Sony (and Verbatim, and
Maxell, and BASF) all have a big headstart in development time. I haven't had
any problems with the Sony disks, and I think that they are probably the best
there is right now. Just because Dysan makes the best 5.25 disks doesn't
mean they make the best 3.5 inch disks.
