Hey I removed the actual reader from the drive tray mechanics and, at the moment i can't actually find my magnetic disk.. But anyway..
Is it possible to replace the magnetic disk spindle with a snap locking spindle like the psone and many cd players use, (or various toploading cd drives).
Because It would be lots easier to figure that into the design than having to place a magnetic disk on top each time...
It seams like im already going to have to figure in a lid thats going to initiate the previous drive tray buttons(x2 one signals tray open and other signals tray closed when depressed)
And i believe i will either remove the moto completely or replace it with a resistor and led to let me know i need to press a (future) button for "disk in"aka drive open, and "read disk"aka drive closed. Which would be easy to do with tiny micro switches.
