I've got two dead miniscribe HDDs from two Mac SEs, I think the optical
gate sensor for the external track 0 sensor on the head stepper (these
don't use a voice coil head!) goes bad, and I'm not sure how to fix it.
Symptom is the drive ramming the head into the "track -1" head stop and
making a loud racket.
