I've just installed the floppies last night on my ultrastor 12f/345 mb esdi
system. I've found, when installing the binarydist files from tape to
hard disk that bad blocks were being detected. (this didn't show up on the
install of the floppies).
after running bad144 wd0, i came to find that no entries (everything set to
zero) existed. bad144 -s wd0 does catch them all....however,
I need someone to help me with interpreting the results of the bad144 -s
and using bad144 then to install the bad blocks in the table.
I didn't have this issue with my System V/R 4.0.3, along side of DOS. think
that they took care of the issue automatically....
