My data for my disks comes after my .sig.  The first disk actually has
5 partitions; the `aptck' utility drops out after the fourth one.
Both disks have been partitioned with SCSI-Tools.

While `aptck' had been running, the TOS SCSI driver reported lots of
"sense code $21"; I think that means "invalid block address"...  I
guess that's normal, isn't it?
