	Adaptec controllers will do bad sector mapping at the controller
level, if the software tells them to.  The format code needs to send down
the bad sector info to the controller and have it remap those sectors.  I
thought that ICD's software did this, you may just have an old version.
(I know that most of Dave's STs are using ICD controllers/software so you
shouldn't have any problem.)
