A friend of mine is responsible for an Altos 2086
box running Xenix.  They upgraded their disk from
an 80MB to a 140MB a couple of months ago.  Since
then they have been having badblocks show up.

The configuration is:
Altos 2086, 4MB memory, Xenix 3.4b Maxtor 1140

It seems to me that once you get the badblock list
set when you install that you should not normally
see any more badblocks.  I know I have never seen
this problem with Xenix on a PC/AT.

Does anyone have any insight into this, or suggestions
as to what I should look at/for?

Any help is appreciated.
