sure sure. You just wait. I'll find you one.
You need different "encoding" circuitry for
the disk
controller.
I should have mentioned I wasn't intending to use
such a monster with a pc. Macs do the gcr thing, but
they don't usually have 5.25" drives. I did a bit or
reading, and am led to ask if the encoding couldn't be
handled in software.
You don't even need to play silly games with
motor
speed
(especially NOT "bumping up voltage"!)
O man what are you telling me. I have a desktop cnc
mill that has a variable speed dc motor. If I want
more rpms I just pump in more emfs. 70, 80, 90 volts.
That kind of juice will get that puny drive to comply
LOL LOL LOL LOL
