As an aside, what would it take to alter a *much
referably* HD 5.25" drive to work as a GCR drive? I
know I'm oversimplifying the issues, but the basic
difference is that the spindle motor is driven at
different speeds in a gcr unit, while only 1 speed in
a standard drive. And this is according to what
cylinder it's reading/writing to. Hmm, what about some
sort of sensor to indicate where the head is, and the
voltage to the motor is bumped up accordingly?

Right, but again I doubt these things would
even
respond to INT 10h and 27h, much less a lower
level of
access. Even my piddly little hacked up utilities
from
by gone days would be useless with such a unit.
Correct me if I'm wrong though.
Hmmm, I don't know of a single floppy drive that
responds to the
video interrupt (10H) or Terminate-and-Stay-Resident
(27H).
