Hi everyone,

	Is there any documentation available on this MFM controller ?
	I would also be interested in working with the driver but
	without any docs there is not much that can be done.

However, the bad sector remapping shouldn't be too hard to implement.  I
assume that NetBSD itself already has some support for sector
remapping.  After all, bad144 is supported, right?  Adding support for
the VAXstation 2000 bad sector remapping should be reasonably
straightforward  after the format of the data on the drive is figured
out.
What needs to be done here?  I'd be willing to help out.  I don't have
any unix kernel or VAX experience so far, but I can learn.  I have used
C quite a lot. I'd also be willing to try figuring out data structures
if necessary.
