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!

+  These opinions are mine, the Navy doesn't pay me to have opinions for it. +
