Hello all,
I don't want to start another huge discussion about whether it is
good to reformat an MFM drive as RLL or not. I am interested if anyone
out there has taken an Seagate ST-251 42MB 40ms MFM drive, and formatted
it and used it as an RLL drive. I am going to use two of these drives
formated for RLL for use with SCO Xenix (any Xenix gurus listening out
there? {8^)). These drives have been running fine for over two years
now, but with a new 386 motherboard on the way, I don't want the disks
slowing the system down too much -- I cant afford to upgrade the drives
just yet. I thank you all in advance for your time and help. I would
prefer responses via E-mail (toll free would be fine, also). Happy
hacking!
