I have a disk that's reporting a bad sector, and Seagate is insisting that I run their software to test it. Unfortunately, their software is Windows or Linux ONLY. I'm wondering if there is any chance that we might see enough of the emulation to be able to send generic SCSI commands from a linux binary on a FreeBSD box. Ideas, comments, "you're crazy" notes, etc welcome. Thanks!
