When reading marginal disks, it would be helpful to do a better job of recovering what's possible. Worth considering:

[ ] Retry configurability (1-5, forever (shudder))
[ ] Make sure to zero out wholly unreadable sectors, not sending prior buffer contents
[ ] Timeout detection at the host will need to be adjusted, pinged periodically, or simply be completely tolerant of timeout

Filling unreadable sector with something easily identifiable (st like "ADTPro Bad sector") could be helpfull in some cases I guess.
