Some are definitely NOT ignored and some other values may be ignored. The ones that are not ignored are the ones that are invalid; i.e., higher than the highest allowable number but also not equal to X'FF'. If your channel program has an invalid sector number, the ESS will fail your channel program with unit check - invalid parameter. If your number is valid, however, it would seem that the ESS will ignore it. This is an arguably preposterous choice of one or the other of only two actions. I personally think this is carrying downwards compatibility too far. Bill Fairchild Plainfield, IL
