        For floppies I'd like to see the system mark entire tracks as bad when
any block on the track is bad (which would be better than nothing, and easily
doable).

        I'd also like to see a "secure" disk mode, for especialy important
disks, which would allow the root directory to be re-located, or perhaps
even kept in duplicate.

        SOMETIMES I REALLY NEED TO KNOW THAT THE ARCHIVES ARE SAFE!

                                                        Thanks,
