I've seen a lot of posts about using disk drive stepper motors,
and I wonder if anyone has tried using the existing driver board
to power the stepper. It should be easy, since the Shugart
interface has a TTL input for direction, and another one that
produces a step when a pulse is applied. Anyone out there try
this? I have seen some cheepo drives that I've wanted to try
this with, but haven't had the time.
