hi David,
suggest you double check the motors from your floppy drive. i've never
seen 200 step/rev motors used there, usualy 24 or 48 step motors are used.
if you have found 200 step motors, would you share the mfg of the drives
because a source of really small motors with fine steps would prove useful
to others.
