One of my Rodime ST506 drives (Ro5090) continues to give me odd read/write
errors.  The drive has been through a minor war, abuse, neglect and bad power
supplies.  But I really doubt the media is damaged.  As per past discussions on
the net, it seems that all I *may* need is a low level format.  Has anyone
taken the time to write such a beast for the A2090a?  Does DiskSalv have the
capabilites of going in and patching a low level format?
