One sector seems to be coming up repeatedly as bad, although I haven't scanned the logs closely enough to see if it's more than one or not. Probably be fixed by changing the appropriate mode page to enable auto-bad-block remapping by the drive. wcarchive uses 2 5.25" FH (Full Height) Micropolis 3Gb drives, 6 Segate 5.25" FH drives (somewhere around the 2-3Gb mark) and an assortment of Seagate Hawks and Quantum Grand Prix's. See ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/config for more. freefall seems to run with Quantum drives (1 Empire 2100 and 2 PDS1800's judging by the dmesg). Gary
