Well, I'm starting to suspect that there's something wrong with the
disk controller (either the multibus SMD board or the drive electronics
itself) as the MSD-500 was replaced in June with a BRAND NEW CDC drive,
and yet these errors keep occuring (I'm thankful that Apollo ISN'T
vanilla U**X, as errors on the first disk address would be disastrous !!)
When you get these errors, are they at the first address on the disk, or
are they at various places on the media (We also get errors at assorted
disk addresses, but the errors at the first disk address happen at least
once or twice a week) ??
