REFLECTOR: 8.5 volts, 900mA motor

[Douglas Holub]

The easiest thing to do would be to put a 3.9 ohm 10 watt resistor in series 
with the motor. If the motor is only on intermittently there's no problem 
with heat.  If it's something like a blower motor which stays on for awhile, 
the reisistor may get too hot to touch, so appropriate care should be taken 
in choosing a mounting location and method.
