I was looking up drive step rates earlier this week.
It seems that 1> mS is the top end for steppers.
That would limit the frequency to 1 KHz. maybe interleave the steps, additive synth?
A pile of old HD and you could get into the 1-50 KHz range?

15,000 floppy drives could be used as bricks to build a building!
First thing I thought too. A 40 X 12 foot wall. Maybe hook up the drive
selects and blink patterns?
