NAME
    TD_SEEK/ETD_SEEK -- control positioning of the drive heads.

FUNCTION
    These commands are currently provided for internal diagnostics,
    disk repair, and head cleaning only.

    TD_SEEK and ETD_SEEK move the drive heads to the track specified. The
    io_Offset field should be set to the (byte) offset to which the seek is
    to occur. TD_SEEK and ETD_SEEK do not verify their position until the
    next read. That is, they only move the heads; they do not actually read
    any data.

IO REQUEST INPUT
    io_Device       preset by the call to OpenDevice()
    io_Unit         preset by the call to OpenDevice()
    io_Command      TD_SEEK or ETD_SEEK
    io_Flags        0 or IOF_QUICK
    io_Offset       byte offset from the start of the disk describing
                    where to move the head to.
    iotd_Count      (ETD_SEEK only) maximum allowable change counter
                    value.

IO REQUEST RESULT
    io_Error - 0 for success, or an error code as defined in
               <devices/trackdisk.h>
