Title: V7 bad block handling info wanted
Article-I.D.: vu44.153

We recently acquired two Ampex Capricorn 9160 winchester type drives,
and though they work flawlessly at the moment we are warned that bad
blocks could occur.
Does anyone have information about bad block handling under V7,
we run an rm driver that is adapted from the original V7 rp driver.
Also details about formatting in case of bad blocks would be useful.
Thanks in advance,
