Subject: [alt-beam] Motors/etc from disk drives?
Before I tear apart a couple of drives, I thought I'd
ask and find out if there are actually any useful bits inside.
I'm guessing theres some sort of geared motor inside the CD drive
to eject the tray, and another to spin the CD up to speed, but are either
useful for beam purposes? Any insights would be much
appreciated.
