          Application 08/405,561                                                      

          thereof and being circumferentially spaced apart therearound,               
          and said stator having a plurality of magnetic stator poles                 
          circumferentially spaced apart from each other around said                  
          rotor for sequentially cooperating with respective ones of                  
          said rotor poles for rotating said rotor to rotate said disk;

          addressing said data on said disk                                           
               each of said stator poles comprising a magnetic core                   
          integrally wound with an electrically conducting coil for                   
          generating a magnetic flux through said core upon energizing                
          thereof; and                                                                
               said stator pole cores and coils being integrated on a                 
          substrate and comprising deposited magnetic material and                    
          deposited conducting material; respectively, and a dielectric               
          therebetween.
