I am in the midst of completely rewriting Microport's low level disk
installation programs (fdisk, divvy, bad sector mapping...)

What would you like to see in a *GOOD* set of Unix V/AT low level disk
utilities?  (even though I am not working on the drivers, suggestions
there are also welcome)

Mail (to plocher at uwspan) or port your replies and I will try to take
your suggestions into account.

No, I can not send you copies of the stuff.  No I can not let you Beta test
it.  No I can not tell you everything I want to about the stuff.  I *can*
take your suggestions and incorporate them into a product that fits your
needs.
