The rails and other mechanical parts are long enough to allow the head to step back to track -4 (ca. 2.15mm). Perhaps you need to modify the optical track 1 sensor a bit, so that it is also close for track -3 and -4, but that's it. Somtimes in the future I will check some other potential drive type candidates for such a modification since I'm not (yet?) much impressed from the Panasonic's read-back capabilities with "difficult" disks.
