Could this also include some tests to see what the drive is capable of? eg, write a special pattern to track 80, read it back, write different pattern to track 81, read back, etc to determine max tracks. Or is this a bit dangerous and have the capability to jam some drives at the higher tracks?
Could also use a sequence of bits at defined intervals, then read back to see how accurate the drive/disk is, tell user if weakbits are reported properly, and anything else that might cause someone issues if they aren't sure what their drive can do.
