Ariel, I wrote such a test program, should be in LIB 11 of TEch as HDTest.lzh. It was originally designed to test HD's for unmapped defects but as it turns out…it seems to work with any block oriented device. It works at the device level…so if the device driver can read non-DOS sectors…(most HD controllers/host adapters can) it'll work once low-level formatted. It can also be used to verify a current drive (or floppy disk) is still valid. It's completely non-destructive, does only reads…no writes to the device. Don
