Hello,
  I am looking to purchase a large (for me) capacity harddrive and I need
some advise. A friend of mine has taken a (Maxtor?) drive and using an RLL
controller and Disk Manager, got it up to 117Mb. This is in the ball park
for what I am looking for.
  Any advise on good ~80Mb drives that can be RLL'd to around 120Mb, or any
reasonably priced ~120Mb drives around?
  Are there disk size limitations for the RLL controllers?

Thanks in advance,
