Reading a GC Disk

Its been proven that they do NOT spin backwards.

How to prove it? Simple, press the eject button while a game is loading, notice the direction its spinning in.

I remember seeing pictures of the setup before but that was long ago (and a different pc ago). Plus it looked extremely complicated. I doubt all these groups just suddenly realized how to do it in the same way the first group did.
