[comp.sys.ibm.pc] st238

brmorrow@uokmax.UUCP (Brett Morrow) (01/25/89)

I know that this
has been discussed before, so I ask you to please respond to me
by mail and not on the net.

What I have is an 8 Mhz xt clone that I am getting ready to add a second
hard drive to .   The original drive is an ST238 original version.  This
one came out before the ST238R came out.  I was wandering what the 
chances of using an RLL controler on this drive and it working reliable 
are.  If I can do it I will probably put in a ST238R and RLL controller 
and make the old drive the second drive in the system.  

I would like to know if I do this will the old drive not work 
for RLL and die or what the results may be.  

As I said before, please address all replies to me by email at one of the 
below address
