[vorbis] Corrupt Files

[James Snook]

The very best tool you could use for checking the integrity of you're
disk, in my opinion, is TuffTest Pro.  It's not free, but it is only €20
or so, er in American $.  It's it's own ASM32 operating system and VERY
good at diagnosing hardware of many kinds, I bought my copy about 3
years ago and would do so again =)

That can tell you if you have bad head tracking in the disk, or
unreliable data retention, or even a poped cell in you're ram!  So give
it a go perhaps.

Oh, make sure you're scsi adapter is supported ofc!
Regards,
James
