I am _darn_ sure the seek function on an RK11
doesn't check sector
headers (I would have to actually dig out the prints to be sure). I know
I've used it to move heads around on the alignment pack, which doesn't
have convnetionally recorded headers. Quite apart from the fact that an
RK05/RK11 can seek on a blank disk so as to be able to format it (a blank
RK05 pack really is blank).
We must have been talking past each other here. I didn't mean that the
controller/drive made a check on the disk that it was on the right
track. The drive *knows* it's on the right track, without checking. Like
