You tried the standard tools to make the floppy's, like rawrite and dd? AND you did format these disk before hand to check that they didn't have bad sectors?.... I have a big box of floppy's that have been siting in the closet and every time I need one I have to go through 20 or so bad ones that have bad sectors or invalid media to find the one perfect one. floppy diskettes are junk thats why we stopped using them.
