Hm - I'm not sure what "auto stepping" means. Normally, the controller
sends a "step" signal (after the direction is set) to the harddrive and
the harddrive responds with a "seek complete" signal - and the controller
sends so many step signals and waits for the seek complete signal (before
the controller sends the next step signal) until the wanted track is
reached. That is how it works, or? So what is "auto step" here?
