possible sollution

Hey Igor,
What you may want to look at is just doing a dump of the disk, byte by byte.
What I'm thinking of is a utility that uses /dev/fd0 or another mount point
as input and then will write the results to standard output.  Sort of like a
bin or raw image in other words.  Such a utility would not be hard at all to
construct.  Problem is, I'll have to find the time to write it.  Anyone
wanna work on this project?  Ether e-mail Igor igueths at attbi.com or me at
eheil at rcn.com.

Hi all. I know I posted and suggested to take this off-list, but I thought I
would get it out there anyway. What we ultimately need is a utility that
would create bin images, because you want to preserve disk integrity.
Teledisk doesn't work, because it seems to just duplicate the files, and it
won't duplicate the bad sectors. It terminates with a data crc error.
Sollution: Create bin image of entire auth disk, use a utlity similar to
rawrite under Linux to write the disk. My e-mail address is
igueths at attbi.com if anyone wants to write me privately on this.
