We have a couple of RL02 disk cartridges that seem to have "floating"
bad blocks, and we wondered if these could be salvaged by cleaning.
Has anybody had any experience with this sort of thing?  Do you know of
anyone, preferably nearby, who does this?  What might it cost?  Does the
process seem to be worthwhile, or should we just use these for frisbees
and shell out a few c-notes for some new disks?
