I just tried to use Fedit to look at some files on our DataFrame 150i hard
disk. All I got was some dialog boxes informing me that the nodes and
files were unintelligible.
Is this because the 150i uses RLL encoding? If so, does anyone know if
there is a version of Fedit, or an equivalent program that can read and
edit RLL disks? The version of Fedit that I have is 1.0.4.

No, it's not anything to do with the encoding. Fedit 1.0.4 has a bug which prevents it from working on hard disks larger than 20 Mbytes. The symptoms are exactly as you describe. The bug was fixed in version 1.0.7, which I didn't bother getting because when I discovered the bug (six months ago), version 2 was going to be out any day now.
