I also have this problem with the 286 version.  I have been told by
uport that this is fixed in the 386 version.

The fun part was that it took several calls to uport techs who just
kept saying "map out the bad track" and try again.  Each time this
meant a backup, re-format/divvy, and a restore.

I hope it is *really* fixed in the 386 versoin.  Does anybody have this
problem with 386 uport?
