I have 3 of the Micropolis MFM drives. One has a bad sector 0, which
is keeping the 9100 from formatting it (the boot block is stored
there). One has a failed track, but the boot sector is good. The
last is one I got used from another (non-9100) environment. All 3 are
noisy, but I find that my fans are louder than the drive itself.
