[Coco] drive motors

[Steve Bjork]

The Motor On Line is NOT tied to the drive select line.  The Motor lines 
tell ALL drive to spin.

By the way, you can select a drive without spinning the motor to check 
the status of the drive, like it the Write Protect.
I use the select drive to see if the write protect status ever change to 
check if a disk was remove from the drive in ShadowDrive,  my RAM drive 
software.
