   We have similiar problems.  While I have a DN3000 disk I need to
clear too I haven't had the time to solve it yet.  So I would be
interested in your solution.
    In the pass on other computers we have used the Diagnostic software
provided with most non-PC computer systems.  In the case of the Apollos
I believe you might try looking at the DEX diagnostic software.  Forgot
what DEX stands for.  Anyway, you can start in the help directories of
sauX (whatever is your workstation model) and sau_sys.  If I recall
there was a disk pgm in which you could change write patterns but not
sure if it could verify that patterns were written.
