I'm installing a couple of Wren VI ESDI drives, and the firmware keeps asking me for a spiral offset for the drives (this is an Emulex QD21 controller). I can't find this information in my controller or disk docs and I can't get through to Emulex on the phone. Is anyone else running in this config? This is on a MicroVAX II running VMS 5.0. Apparently the spiral offset is the amount (number of sectors) to offset when stepping in on the disk. Replies by e-mail, please; thanks in advance! -- + Gordon Zaft | zaft@suned1.nswses.navy.mil + + NSWSES, Code 4Y33 | suned1!zaft@elroy.jpl.nasa.gov + + Port Hueneme, CA 93043-5007 | Phone: (805) 982-0684 + + These opinions are mine, the Navy doesn't pay me to have opinions for it. +
