Hello,
I'm looking for an older version of Ontrack Disk Manager. I need to perform a bad
sector check and low-level format for an MFM HD. I actually have 2 legit copies of the
program (from the late 1980's), but, of course, I cannot find them now.
Thank you,
Robert Greenstreet

I have copies that shipped with disk drives. These are locked to
support the specific drive manufacturer and drives that existed at the
time. I think I have one for microsci and seagate MFM drives. Is
this drive in an AT without a low level format program in the BIOS?
For a more general solution, I tend to use spinrite (available from
grc.com), especially if I have a drive with data on it that is
starting to get seek failures.
