Read diagnostic command will read sectors with bad CRC
or other problems.
That may help with unreadable sectors.
Keep cranking, you have a very useful tool there.

Hi Allison,
Humm... the NEC databook that I have makes no mention of a "READ DIAGNSTIC"
command
is this an undocumented feature or later version enhancement? If I can read "bad
sectors",
even with errors, I can add another Sector Data Block flag byte value which means
"data
but with errors".
Can you give me details or point me at a reference which documents this and any other
features not in the NEC data sheet?
Regards,
Dave
