After a lengthy work session by Terabit Friday and today, the old drive
now appears to be pretty much functional again.  The only thing that
really is wrong with it now is a tendency to get timeouts when it runs
into a bad spot on the surface.  This happens at a few places which are
known to be bad spots on that pack;  oddly, it doesn't happen at other
spots known to be bad.  Terabit replaced some heads among other things,
so perhaps the head alignment is off.  This would explain the thing
noticing some old bad spots and not others.

More testing to come.
