Head 0

Defective sector is assigned to unassigned sector.

4 alternate cylinders are provided for each head in zone 13 (inner side).

When an access request to sector 5 is specified, the device accesses the alternated sector in the alternate cylinder instead of sector 5. When an access request to sectors next to sector 5 is specified, the device seeks to cylinder 0, head 0, and continues the processing.
