Yeah, you had it right with the exception that it was the PET/CBM compatibility it needed. What I found amazing was that they used a 40 track mechanism, but the DOS only recognized 35 tracks. But it was the fact they didn't put in a zero track sensor and instead just let the heads beat against the rail stop a few times to ensure they were at the zero track. Of course that caused all sorts of alignment issues. Geniuses I tell ya. Oh, and I found the hack that allows you to remember what you had for breakfast; buy a 3.5lb bag of Fruity Dyno-Bites and you'll know what was for breakfast for the next two months...
