Not being able to access a mdisk doesn't mean the data is gone. Phil
didn't define scrag well enough. I once recovered some RSCS exit code
that was on a "scragged" mdisk in that the mdisk cyl 0 had been
overwritten but I was able to find the updates by using DDR TYPE on the
rest of what was the disk.

If you can access it, PIPE MDISKBLK gives you all the latitude you could
want to screw it up!
ACCESS 1234 E
PIPE literal 0000000003 | pad 4106 | mdiskblk write e
(presuming it's blocked at 4K; if not, change 4106 to the actual block
size plus 10)
If you can't access it, of course, you don't need to do anything.
