SEEK Command
This command causes the selected drive to seek to the specified
starting address. If a head seek is required, the ACB-5500 will
disconnect from the SCSI bus and reconnect upon seek completion.
The ACB-5500 returns completion status immediately after the seek
pulses are issued and head motion starts.
Any command received
for a unit with a seek in progress will immediately complete with
a command completion status of busy (bit 3 set).
The drive is moved to the expected
track position but no ID
field verification is attempted.
The ACB-5500 uses an implied seek on READ,
WRITE and SEARCH
commands eliminating the need for
SEEK commands before each
operation.
Valid Errors:
Error
No Seek Complete
Drive Not Ready
Select Failure
Bad Format
Illegal Block Address
Bad Argument
Invalid Logic Number
Initiator Detected Error
SCSI Bus Out Parity Error
Adapter Parity Check
