   I wonder if you could clone a FlashPath floppy disk emulator but as a PCB.
   Youd need a hole in the middle for the spindle, but if you could keep the height down and do some magnetic coils at the right place, it could work?

     @foone Then maybe you could make a 5.25" version

     @foone Would you need bearings in the middle for the motor to spin, and not try to spin the pcb?

     @greenarchist nah you just leave the hole in the middle, big enough that the motor spins nothing
