It is possible to patch RSDOS' DSKCON to do track reads instead of sector
reads.



Also, there are various software packages that do the same.  I use CDM 
(Color Disk Manager) for any disk where I get errors.  You can use it to 
read tracks or sectors, and just bypass the damaged sector of data.  You can 
also replace individual bytes on the disk.  Useful if you have a tape 
program that was stored on disk with a filename that is legal for tape but 
not for disk.  Fun stuff !!  If I recall, it was written by Rodger Smith, 
the same guy who wrote Brewmaster, Flippy, and many other great programs.
