If that System/One has the 5Mb IMI drive, as most of

include a copy of the relevant service bulletin, in case you feel like
looking at it some day. Gonna copy it right now and add it to the pile
before I forget.
That would be great. I decided that the hard drive in that machine would
be the first one I attempt to do a mechanical recovery on using the
methods discussed on the list a long while back (amateur clean-room
chamber). If, as you say, it's merely an adjustment then all the better.
Thanks!
