I just bought a bunch of Tandon TM100-2 drives to replace the TM100-1s
in the PCs where I work.  I had no problem installing them and getting
them to work, but several of them consistently give one to three tracks
worth of bad sectors when formatting.  Judging by contortions the drives
go through when they get format errors, the bad tracks are the last
(innermost) to be formatted.  Are there adjustments I can safely make to
rid myself of this problem?
