Yep, meanwhile I read the drive hack hint in the Catweasel manual you
mentioned.
Hmmm... Putting a LED beside the photo resistor... Checking 'MOTOR if
it's active, and if it is, and there's no 'INDEX, start flashing, does
it sound like a good idea? ;-)
Also... A really weird idea has popped up in my mind, regarding the
100tpi / 96 tpi problem. Pulsing 'STEP by some 100kHz, and rotating a
8-chain PWM bitmask on the 'DIR pin, hmmm? ;-)
(I know different drives would react differently, and it would also need
additional attention of the software, but still this should be the only
possibility to make it (if at all)).
