There is evidently much more to the .Sony disk driver than is described in
Inside Macintosh.  When you DIVerify() a volume and it reports bad blocks,
how can you tell which blocks are the guilty parties?  You can't!  Certain
utilities, such as ScanDisk, seem to be able to determine this.  I tried to
answer this question by disassembling ScanDisk, but the result was
unenlightening.

Where can I get documentation on the inner workings of the disk driver?
