Second,
I've noticed that the drive seems to mis-seek on occasion.
[...]
I assume you are aware of that any software driver for the RL drives
needs to read the headers to verify that they are on the right track,
after doing a head select (or rather a change in which head you have
selected), and do a new seek if on the wrong track. Repeat until on the
right track.
Essentially, seeks on the RL drives are not reliable, and you must
always first check that you are on the right track before doing anything
else.
I would almost suspect your controller is just fine in this aspect.
(This is documented in manuals, if you read enough.)
