Why? Poor design. It doesn't work on my 500 either, but it does work
ona 2000. Why the heck knows why.

No. No way no how no possibility, never, nunca, no, nada, nine, jamas.
Well, maybe.. Just kidding. The amiga used a one speed
step rate motor, apple, in their infinate wizdom, deems
that everything they do has to be nonstandard to the rest of
the planet. That way, only apple will work with apple.
Apple's drives use variable speed drives (it says all this in
the amax manual)

Since the speeds are different, forget it. Maybe Khalid or Dillon
can come up with something... but, I seriously doubt that
even thes top notch killer programmers from planet A can 
do it. 
 
Hope I've helped.
