2-3. DRIVE MECHANISM
The brushless direct drive motor rotates the sp indle
at 600 rpm. Owing to the long life brush less motor,
the OA-D30V has no Motor On Control signal that
conventional 5.25" drives have. And for low power
consumption, the drive motor rotates only while
Micro Floppydisk is inserted.
There is no index
hole in the Micro Floppydisk, because the OA-D30V
positions the Disk precisely and Index Pulse is gen-
erated by photo sensor and hall element combination.
