     I have a poor little Tandy 1000 TX that I'm trying to fix up for my
dad.  I was foolish (when I owned and used the computer) to purchase the
Tandy 21meg hard card.

     It's a Western Digital Hard drive and a WD 8 bit controller card.
The problem with the HD is that CYL 508 H 1 is bad, but the card's 
llformat routine (debug...g=c800:5...etc) never marks this track as bad.
I need to know where I can get a llformat program in which I can specify
bad tracks.

     Tandy hasn't been any help since my computer is over 2 years old.
Anyway it's a WD 614 cyl 4 head drive.  If any of you could help, I'd
really appreciate it.

Thanks...
