Re: Marking bad sectors

[mark@trillian.jsc.nasa.gov (Mark Manning)]

My suggestion to you is to write a small program which does the following:

1. Attempts to read a sector off of the disk.
2. If it can not read the sector it allocates that sector as a file.

In this way you will have a file which contains all of the bad sectors
on the disk drive.

Under ProDos this should not be a very hard thing to do (in assembly
language).
