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.
