   I'm assuming that by "RA disks" you have really meant MSCP, right? (It's
very unfortunate that in all VAX Unices that I have seen MSCP disks are
called ra...) But I have thought that MSCP disks use bad144, don't they?
And who does the bad block forwarding in this case anyway? Is it the
intelligent MSCP controller or the OS?
