I've got an old MPE/V Micro/3000 with a disc with some bad sectors
on it... I'm seeing Sysfail #651s almost regularly (HP7945 drive)
which the ol' manual says to do a DUMP and determine the bad sectors
so they can be reassigned/spared/whatever.
 
I can't recall ever having done a DUMP on the micro before (if I
have, it's been MANY years), but >DU 4,7 seems to have locked up
on me (channel 4 device 7 is the 7978). Assuming I can get a valid
dump out of it, is the bad-sector stuff gonna be readable? I've
used the dump analyzer on 5x/6x/70s but not on a Micro...
 
If I *can't* get the dump to go, is there any other way to catch
the bad sectors? [can't seem to find a sadutil tape, which isn't
surprising since I've never used it on this box before - it's been
humming along for about 5 years for me]
 
Any guidance would be appreciated. I'd like to get the problem
straightened out - the box isn't critial for us, but it does run our
ftp server... :-0
