I am trying to connect a Micropolis 1578-15 disk drive to
a DECstation3100. At boot time, the 3100 recognizes the
drive as an RZ55. I used the rzdisk program to format
the drive using the vendor defects and the default parameters from
the disk drive. I am able to put a file system on, but I get
strange behavior when I access the drive. When I copy a
directory of files (/usr/ucb) on the drive to a different name
on the same drive then do a diff -r.  Some of the files have
errors. ex. the 128 block on dbx is in error in the copy.
I think the problem has something to do with the disk drive
parameters, but I am not sure.  Can anyone help me?
