I think you can query SCSI drives for the zone information... at least it
works on the drives I've tried it on (a couple of Quantums, and an IBM
Ultrastar something)...
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/mlist/port-mac68k/1998/04/12/0005.html has a
bit more info on how to do it if anyone's interested.

It might even be possible to find out where bad blocks got remapped to,
but I'm not sure about that.
