Hi, Folks. I just bought a CompuAdd 286/12, everything works fine, but
I found out that my Miniscribe hard disk has a defect list of 25 entry.
So out of 1024 cyl with 5 heads, 25 of them will be mark as bad sector.
Is that too high, or is this just normal. (I had a Miniscribe 43 Mb 25 ms HD)
Any help will be appreciated, Thanks in advance.
