[comp.sys.amiga.tech] Disk harware limits

dzenc@gnu.ai.mit.edu (Dan Zenchelsky) (09/25/90)

Does  anybody  know  what  the limits of the disk hardware (in terms of RAW
data)  are.   I know that it uses MFM, which basically means no more than 3
0-bits  in  sucession, and any 1-bit must be surrounded by 0-bits .  Can it
handle more than this?                                                     
                                                                           
On a related issue, can someone give me a quick rundown of how RLL encoding
works?                                                                     
                                                                           
Thanks a lot
