	Isn't the "hard format" that the Apple DMA utilities do a "low level
format"? Or is that simply zeroing the drive?
	I'm referring to the hard format it asks you if you want to skip
in the partitioning section.
	When you get rid of all partitions, the Advanced Disk Utility also
asks you if you want to reformat with another interleave, so I think that's
a low level format also.


	By the way, could someone tell me why Mr.Fixit and the Apple utilities
give me DIFFERENT blocks that are bad when I do a test? Now I seem to have
fixed everything.. I was locking out bad blocks, and I earlier had a few
problems that caused me to need to reformat... Now even Mr. Fixit skips
by the old blocks it marked bad (but it sometimes pauses for a sec, so I 
think those blocks are marginal).
	Even in the beginning, Mr. Fixit & the apple utilites told me different
blocks were bad, which is weird. Not that one is a subset of the other, they
were totally diffferent sets.

	I believe you have to buy those from APDA. I hope you do buy 'em,
to show your support.
