  Morgan, you remind me about ABBA and Ericsson: the first does not sing
anymore and the second one wasbankruptcy and buyed by Sony...[ grin ]

For just one second drive, no pwm, I'll use a DPDC 10A relay. Will be the
cheapest methode you ever may buy. Protective diodes on DC motor coils and RC
networks to protect relays contacts.
