So, the MM11-U manual (EK-MF11U-MM-003) describes (pg. 3-12) a set of jumpers
(W5-W7) on the G235 card (X and Y selection line current generators - those
for the inhibit lines are on the G114) which adjust the bias current for the
selection line generators. It goes on to say:

Hello,
I have two TSZ07 here.
As they were sold as "for parts" obviously they both needed some repair.
One of the two had severe mechanical problems.
One motor had a loose unglued magnet inside, so there was a motor fault
error, and the motor couldn't rotate freely,
making a rattle noise inside
Hello Mattis,
We do have interest in the 7 track drive. Is it still available?

Shad and Tony,
Thank you very much for the information and advice. I spoke further to the
seller and he wants the broken drive back. As there is no guarantee I can
fix this I am going to return the drive to the seller.

Awhile back a "pre-alpha" version of the PC classic "DOOM" was unearthed
(dated Feb 28, 1993), and it claims to support a "high color" VGA mode.
From the README.TXT:
"Use High-color DAC (160 x200, but great color!)
(Only newer VGA cards have this-if it looks OK, ya got it)
