NAME
TD_SEEK/ETD_SEEK - control positioning of the drive heads.
FUNCTION
These commands are currently provided for internal diagnostics, disk repair, and head cleaning only.
TD_SEEK and ETD_SEEK move the drive heads to the track specified. The io_Offset field should be set to the (byte) offset to which the seek is to occur. TD_SEEK and ETD_SEEK do not verify their position until the next read. That is, they only move the heads; they do not actually read any data.
