... not to mention what the inductive backlash can do to your *transistor*! The appropriate fix is a clamp diode around the motor, I suppose, but that raises another question: Does the motor behave differently when it's allowed to backlash, instead of being clamped? And another question I just thought of: What exactly does placing a clamp diode around the *transistor* do? It seems to me that the motor would try to backlash through the power supply. I often see these extra diodes as part of Darlington packages, etc. _H*
