The controller sets the encoding, the drive has a "suggested" encoding from the vendor. I have used many MFM drives with RLL and ARLL. I would not expect any problem at all. -- bill davidsen (davidsen@crdos1.crd.GE.COM -or- uunet!crdgw1!crdos1!davidsen) GE Corp R&D Center, Information Systems Operation, tech support group Moderator comp.binaries.ibm.pc and 386-users digest.
