Formats appear to go ok, and basic testing (writing data to and reading
from) appear to work ok. I haven't tried a real stress utility yet.

Right now, running on an old Mac.
I'll run a few disks thru a PC to use better surface testing tools (any
of my good Mac tools are either not readily available, or will only run
on newer macs that have problems with 800k disks in the best of
situations, so I wouldn't be able to trust the results to the disk or the
mac being the source of error)
Thanks
