Sequential seek check

This test checks the ability of the read/write heads to locate any part of the
diskette. This action by a read/write head is called a seek. During this test,
each head seeks sequentially from the innermost track to the outermost
track. The innermost track is track 79 for 720KB diskettes.
Select option 1 from the menu to start this test. The program displays the
number of each track it finds, counting down from 79 to 0.
The seek is performed by each head, so you see the count twice. If no errors
occur, the menu is displayed.
