Why don't you try fdformat on them, Sindi, and see what results it gives?
It does a low level format of the disks, then verifies them. That will
tell you whether maybe DOS is not catching some errors on the diskettes.
There's also badblocks, which could maybe do an even more thorough test.
Not sure if you'll have to install these progs from Slack71 disks or not
(my BL machines are either all in storage or are on the blink)
