Both raw and block work fine in my RRD43. 

On my Yamaha 6416S the raw fails with dd giving me error "Invalid
argument". When I dd from the block device it never stops after
the end of the disk. I haven't examined the extra data to see if it's
random gunk or blank or what. 

This is on an AlphaStation 200 on ncr0 running on 1.4.1.
