Andrew,

Lighten up!   I too can say that I have *never* had a problem with
media from SCO.  I can't say "I've been computing for over twenty
years etc...", but then who cares how long you've been computing. 
For all we know you *think* you've been computing for over twenty
years.  Facts are facts.  I just counted over 60 disks in my office
that have SCO labels on them.  NONE have ever had a problem that I
can attribute to poor media.  I have had problems, but they are 
normally anything from dirty equipment to marginal hardware.

You probably have an Epson LQ-2550 that you set your disk on just
before inserting them into the drive.  You know, the Epson with the
magnet switches that sense "CASE OPEN".
