I've got a pile of 5.25" and 3.5" floppy drive spindle motors that I don't really feel like tossing out. I know how to drive the 5.25" motors (haven't tried with the 3.5" motors).
Is there some practical use these motors can be put to or are they just no good? Remember, I'm talking about the spindle motors, not the juicy TEAC stepper motors from back when too much engineering was never enough.
