Well its many years later! wow, I finally disassembled the entire spindle motor 
from my 1541-II that is direct drive, there is a Mitsubishi 3 phase motor 
controller chip M51784P it is a 36pin chip here is the datasheet

http://www.datasheetcafe.com/m51784p-datasheet-motor-control-mitsubishi/

pin 34 says speed control, but it is currently grounded. it shows 1:1 or 1:2 
not sure what would happen if it was disconnected from ground.

The 1571 has a hitachi chip HA13432 24pin chip that I cannot translate the 
Japanese or Chinese to help my life, but it looks like the speed controller is 
changing the R/C circuit to change the pulse modulation that the chip is 
referencing to adjust speed.

Now if only I could figure out what pin 9 does on the 1571 Hitachi chip then 
maybe this can be applied to the 1541-II Mitsubishi chip, I think ultimately 
this was probably used on 5.25 1.2meg high density floppy drives and that would 
be used to change 
the speed from 300 to 360 rpm

have a look and if anybody can figure this one out, then please let us know. 
Geez everything else has been figured out, even the PLA and the Vic Clock chip.
