JDW, is your Hyperdrive in running condition? If your Hyperdrive has an MMI or Miniscribe drive, it would be a miracle if it still spins.

The doctor is still out on whether my Hyperdrive is a "miracle" or not, but the fact is my 20MB drive mechanism does spin and read and write just fine.

Because no one has ever given me a clear idea as to the drive mechanism used in my Hyperdrive (exactly the same as one owned by TheNixer), I am curious to hear further evidence presented on the matter. Before doing so though, please be sure to read through this detailed threads on the matter:

And here are 3 of my Hyperdrive photos that show the front and back of the drive mechanism (click All Sizes to get a bigger view):
