Hi all,

Kerry asked me for more information and possibly some pictures of the 
hardware in a hard drive that might be usable to aim lasers.

I googled for awhile and found a very nice website with detailed pictures 
and an explanation of how hard drive voice coil actuators work.

For anyone interested, check out:

Skip the part about the stepper motor positioner and move to the part that 
starts with 'voice coils'.

Regards,

Art
