Apparently some of these 'quad' density disk drives are sensitive about NOT 
having hub rings on the floppy. You will notice that High-Density floppies
do not have these rings...

So, is there a source of fairly high quality DS/DD floppies WITHOUT hub rings,
for those of us that plan to format and use these disks as if they were Quad
density disks?
