Physically, the mechanics of a Macintosh drive aren't very different from the ones of a PC drive. The main difference is the auto-eject mechanism, that doesn't affect at all on the way the disk is read or written. The speed control is done enterely in the analogue board of the drive, controlled by the computer's disk controller, much in the same way you can tune a PC drive's speed by adjusting its speed potentiometer. The slight variation in the rotation speed (about 20% in the outer tracks) doesn't affect very much the writting proccess.
