Thanks for the link!
I have corrected a typo in my listing. It appears to be an earlier version than the one given in your link. However I have left mine as is to match the one in the manual.

scsi.device certainly supports bad blocks.
The RigidDiskBlock explanation quoted above appears in the scsi.device section (but no other) in the DEVICES volume of the Amiga ROM Kernel Reference Manual.
