Sorry if this question has been answered millions of times before,
but here it goes:

I am setting up a 386 clone for home use. I would like to have as large
a hard disk as possible for < $600. The most attractive option I've
seen in adds in the local computer rags is a TOSHIBA MK72PC which
formats at 110MB with an RLL controller.
Is there any counter indications to using RLL drives?
What other drives in this price range are recommended for RLL?
I plan to move to UNIX eventually, do  386 UNIXs support RLL drives?

Thanks for your help
