Subject: Tandon TM848-2 's

I get a lot of mail on this; my correspondents are about equally
divided between enthusiastic liking of Tanden thins, and utter
hatred of them.  One major OEM refuses tohandle them because (he
tells me) test indicate excessive media wear.  He is
particularly adamant about not using Tanden 5 1/4" disks.

In the hundreds of letters I have, almost all complining about
disks concern 5 1/4 " except for a few which det est Tanden tin
8" (and I have never had anyone write me about any 8" except
those).  Of course this is hardly a random sample, and I pass it
on for what it's worth.
