Francesco Loconte was asking about the controller chip pinouts for a floppy drive. I have no knowledge, but have found this web site about using the stepper motors (in &) out of floppy drives. There is a card edge connector pinout and (I believe) some code for driving them. Try: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~ih/doc/stepper/ I hope that it helps.
