 dant da da dant dant ... dant dant ...

A friend of mine has just completed the constuction of a working 5.25"
disk drive.  I asked him for the plans so that I could build one myself.
He used a Qume drive from the back of Byte and ended up paying about
$90 for the whole thing.  I have complete instructions, schematics, and
parts list.  I would be glad to post it to the net, however...

The schematic is lifted directly from the 3.5" drives and the instructions
include referances to company names.

How should I post this?  I would like to hear from Commodore/Amiga if
they think that there is any problem.  Otherwise I will post it with the
assumption that since I am not making any money, no one will want to
sue me (here's hoping).

Am I being paranoid?

ps.  This drive only works in IBM mode, I saw a posting about people
     trying to get a quad density drive up an working in Amiga mode,
     I would be interested in hearing about any success in this area.
