Another option is to fake the index signal to the drive completely. The
FluxEngine emits suitable pulses for a 300RPM drive on pin 3[0] and the
equivalent pulses for a 360RPM drive on pin 3[1]. Disclaimer: I have never used
these.

## Bonus hardware features
For advanced users, the board has a few extra signals which are useful for special purposes.
- Pin 3[0] produces short pulses every 200ms. This is useful for spoofing
index signals to 300 RPM drives; for example, to read flippy disks.
- Pin 3[1] is the same, but produces the pulses every 166ms; this works with
360 RPM drives.
