	I've got an Adaptec controller / 65meg RLL setup which I'd like to
use for Spectre GCR if/when I buy it.  The ICD host adaptor tells me that
because the Adaptec uses FAT bad-sector mapping rather than SCSI, I shouldn't
use it with Spectre.  But I do have a few error-free partitions.  Can I use
Spectre with these partitions?
	A more broad question is, what goes wrong when you have a bad sector
on your hard disk?  Surely there's a Macintosh equivalent of mapping out bad
sectors to a FAT table that can be done.
