I am curious as to what the 'real' alignment
signals look like. One
reference seemed to impley they were circular tracks not concentric with
the spidnle. Making those would be 'fun'...
The radial alignment tracks on the Dysan digital (according to what
Dysan said when they released it) ARE concentric, but with
individual sectors being out of spec on radius.
For non-concentric circular, couldn't you modify the disk clamping
mechanism to be slightly off of the spindle axis?
Or, use a PC.
Trivial software to convert a PC into a drive exercisor.
Sure, ut a lot more bulky
(which is an issue when I've got most of a
classic ocmputer all over my workbench!).
