Here is one place to start: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/cd6.htm
I would bet money that one of those 3 motors is a stepper motor, so start by
Googling on stepper motors.
You will get better technical data if you can find a make and model #
somewhere on each motor, then Google on that.
If you want to build a robot using these motors you could start by Googling
"floppy bot" --- there are a few pages on the net for building a small robot
using floppy disk drive motors and electronics.
Hope that gets you started!
