I have some dumps of my own workbench disks that are unmodified, from those you can get proper ADFs and so get valid CRCs.

A GW has a higher read density than KF and reading to ADF with amigados specified is precisely interpolated from raw source data as it is read.

Bad sector #1 was in the Preferences program. Bad sector #2 was in Notepad. I don't remember what the last bad sector was, but it was just as easy to locate its missing data and fix it. Both Preferences and Notepad was tested to work fine after the repair. Yeah, hard to tell if it's a good dump after the fix, but at least it's usable for people wanting to use WB 1.3.3 Norway.

In all the bad sector cases, the previous and next sector data was the same in the Danish disk I used for repair (just that two of the bad blocks were at different offsets and had to be edited).
