 * What are you trying for?  Your own data recovery or fast possibly
 * bad data, e.g., video data off a raw partition?

No, just want to see what kind of errors the disk is actually
getting.  This is part of research, not anything useful. :)

 * For fast bad data you want to set the RC (read continuous) bit.
 * For roll-your-own recovery you want to clear AWRE and ARRE
 * and clear TB (transfer block).

Ok, thanks.

 * Last I heard the -v mode page editor was up and running.

I guess it's time to upgrade our systems...eek.... ;)
