I've not come across the drive you derscribe, but it's interesting to
me, as
it's similar to the idea I had for a type of drive that would result in
`cinematic' type movement; if you have to follow a tame black hole (or,
as I
considered, follow a hole you `drill' into real space ahead of you), you
wouldn't be able to make sudden total changes in direction, or face
differently to your heading.  Instead, assuming the hole was slightly
wider
than your ship, you could make a slow turn in an arc by haeding towards 
one
edge of the hole.  Basically, ship would have to make `cinematic' style
turns.
