Of the 35 or so RL02 Packs I have, only a couple are EF qualified.
I cleaned and tested every pack when I obtained them - and only two or
three have ANY bad sectors. Those that do, all have "correctable"
re-assignments (both RT and RSX can support this capability).
I have had no problems running BSD using error free "non-EF" (DC)
packs...

That reminds me - you have to have error-free
packs. DEC used
to sell RL02-EF packs for use with UNIX (RT-11 can mark bad spots
on the disk and if they aren't in the first tracks or if there
aren't too many, you can mark those sectors allocated and work
around them. Not so with BSD).
I guess I'm not running BSD on it any time soon, then. None of my
packs are the -EF ones.
