  Dysan makes a controller box called a PAT. It works with the digital
alignment diskettes to perform quick go/no go testing of standard drive
mechs. It also allows read/write testing, formatting, track positioning, etc.
We use one of this in our manufacturing group. It is kind of pricey
($1600?). There are several other boxes that do like for less money, but
I have only seen catalog descriptions of them.
