Can ESIX (Release B) drive a Perstor ADRT fd/hd controller? My docs say ST506, ESDI and SCSI, but not ADRT or RLL - although I seem to recall a posting that ESIX does RLL. So what is ADRT? I'm familiar with FM, MFM and x,yRLL encoding, but not ARLL or ADRT. I understand that RLL is `harder' on a drive than MFM, so is ADRT even worse? I have a Miniscribe 6085 and a Seagate ST251, but neither are RLL `certified'. Will I have hardware problems if I switch to the Perstor controller? (I'm still interested in an answer to the second question even if the answer to the first is no.) -- Dave Burton (ism780c!laidbak!daveb) -- Dave Burton uunet!ism780c!laidbak!daveb
