Stepper Motor Drive
The stepper motor is connected to the read/write heads and can move
the heads from the outside track 00 to the inside data area of the floppy
disc. After a disc is detected, the spindle motor turns and the stepper
motor is instructed to move the heads to track 00.
Two out-of-phase stepper motor drive signals, from the main FC-72 board
are applied to motor coils A and B at CN701/pins 1-4 for movement. Each
motor coil that receives the signal is 16 ohms. All four signals must be
present for the stepper motor to rotate.

Description
PA CN701/pin 1 0Vdc + drive to coil A
PB CN701/pin 2 0Vdc + drive to coil B
PNA CN701/pin 3 0Vdc - drive to coil A
PNB CN701/pin 4 0Vdc - drive to coil B
The following waveforms show two of the four drive signals going to coils
A and coil B.
