The Indus GTS uses an NEC mechanism that tends to filter out Mac data on
the innermost 16 tracks (so , first off, most of the disks should be
readable to begin with).

	This can be cured by shorting inductor L7 and adding a capacitor
to change the frequency of the filter to include GCR data.

	Complete instructions can be posted (or emailed) upon request; let
me know. It's around 5 minutes of soldering and 50 cents of capacitor in
parts.

	I've been told that "Indus" (okay, it's Future Systems) has switched to
a new NEC mechanism that we'll also have to figure out. (what fun). Anywho,
the above applies, I believe, to the 1035 mech; don't try it on an 1037.
