Re using a Miniscribe 8425 as a 30 MB drive, and it developing bad sectors..
I used to have one of those, and I'm 100% sure it's a MFM-type disk, and as
such only can safely formatted as a 20 MB disk.
(Yes, I *know* a lot of people push MFM's to RLL specs, but it doesn't seem
to work in this case..)
