We have a CDC 600MB(Model 9775) drive (recently acquired) in house, that we are soon going to do certification on. If this works out we'll get others. Does anyone out there have experience with kind of a drive under a Unix system? Specifically we are looking for two things. 1) A utility program that reads the bad block info off of the factory generated format and creates an error report based on it. 2) An algorithm used for bad block/track handling in the OS itself for that type of drive. We'd appreciate hearing from anyone that has used such a drive, an what your experience with it has been. Dave Foote Denelcor, Inc.
