However, John hasn't ever told us how his disks have survived the test of time. I lost track of my normal HD disk formatted to 2.88 but they were fine after a month at least. OTOH, many of my disks started showing bad sectors for some strange reason. I don't know if it has anything to do with the 2.88 format or the TP (I remember reading somewhere that the TP had some problems with OS/2's formatting). And that reminds me, the cheapest source I've found for 2.88 floppies thus far has been the Media Factory at around $2.30 per disk. The number is 800-879-9536.
