Don't forget that we have a driver (hdc/rd) for the MFM disks (RD54 etc.) on the MicroVAX 2000 / VAXstation 2000. These are _not_ MSCP disks, and one of the reason why I never succeeded in getting NetBSD 1.5.2 to run on mine 25 years ago was that the driver lacked bad sector handling :) Hans -- %SYSTEM-F-ANARCHISM, The operating system has been overthrown
