I had a recent conversation with a principal of a firm that purchased
about six 20Mb CMI hard disks (the same unit as is used in the AT) to
investigate using them in Zenith Z-100 machines. After extended
testing, all of the units failed - bad sectors spontaneously
appearing, and he returned them to the distributor.

In other words, according to this fellow's experience, the AT hard
disk problems are traceable to defective hardware, so it would be
difficult to imagine that a $149 program could repair things.
