I have an interest in this, I have taken apart several HP inkjets and they too use a servo motor except they also use a linear encoder. I was thinking a pair of such motors an encoders could make a great little laser cutter or similar. I threw away the drive boards but by looking at the components it may be possible to work back from the motor output just enough to at least have the amp section.
Would geckos work with such small motors? One other thing is that there is an application note for PIC control of servo motors, this might be a good route to take for some cheapo step and direction servo control for small machines. Would be an interesting project.
