i am interested in creating a sort of Futuristic Style Desk where sliding panels on the desk move back revealing Vu Meters / LCD Display / Cd-Roms
All controllable by a Key like those PC Keyboard Lock Keys *when u insert the key the computer says Welcome Back and the panels move back ready for action also the desklight could be programed to come* on by x10 the panels would be controllable with the parallel port plugin i looked on the forum and seen a few things mentioning blind control and motors so i started searching for info i stumbled across this site

so it got me wondering if its doable with a Standard Floppy Drive and its controller ,would it have enough torque to handle a small sliding panel on runners and how smooth and accurate would it be are there any other problems i havent looked into??
any input on this would be Greatly Appreciated Thanks
