*** WARNING: THIS IS A DESTRUCTIVE TESTING TOOL ***

devsoak deliberately overwrites every sector in the range you point it at,
issues edge-case and malformed commands, and drives a driver to its
limits for hours at a time. It is built for developers and testers who
understand block device internals and have deliberately chosen a sector
range, partition, or whole device they do not mind losing. Point it at
the wrong unit number and it WILL destroy live data - there is no
confirmation beyond the -y flag you pass it yourself, and no undo.

If you are not comfortable identifying your target device's unit number
with certainty, back up first, or do not run this tool.

devsoak is a destructive correctness and soak tester for trackdisk-style
AmigaOS block device drivers. One run answers two questions: does every
command the driver accepts do the right thing - including the edge cases

see README.md's Quirks section); devsoak looks for
this file beside its own binary

devsoak is destructive: it will overwrite the sector range you point it
at. Never run it against a range holding data you want to keep.

Requirements
------------
- AmigaOS 3.0+ (KS 1.3 is also supported at reduced dialect coverage)
or AROS m68k, 68000 or better.
- AmigaOS, Kickstart 1.3 or later, or AROS m68k, 68000 or better.
devsoak probes the driver under test at startup and exercises
whichever command dialects (CMD/ETD/TD64/NSD/NSD-ETD) it actually
advertises - so a 1.3-era driver simply advertises fewer dialects
itself, rather than devsoak testing less on 1.3.
- A block device to test, and a sector range on it you do not need.
