BRRRRRRRAAAAAAAPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!! (let the record reflect that the email
author made a Sten machinegun noise).
I remember making a timing light for Commodore 1541 drives out of a neon lamp
and a 1N4007 diode, which one would play on the timing marks on the drive
spindle. Then there was a pot you could adjust to change the rate of the
spindle motor.
