[sdiy] Scavenging the electronics graveyard

[Bob Weigel]

Wow..now there's a great idea :-).  Especially if there were indepenent 
controls for the speed of the spindle motor and the position motor.  
That could be like..turned into the ultimate wierd0 loop generator ya 
know?  Picture this.  An analog function generator with knobs.  A speed 
knob for the spindle and a patchable or selectable speed mod amount, 
then a set of knobs for devising various funtions and mod source amounts 
for the head position!  I'll have to hack into one some day when I'm not 
all booked up. -Bob
