Standard drives are 96 TPI; I don't think you'd have steps fine enough to 
step them at 100TPI

Of course you could convert your 100TPI disks to 96TPI, and keep a 100TPI 
drive around for times when you need to interface with the world outside.

Could you run the stepper between steps the way CNC stepper controllers do?
