!>ARLL HD controllers; are they any good?:
! 
! I am also testing a WD 1006 SVR2 controller (with 2 4096s).  The drives
! format to about 115 MB, and have worked beautifully so far (about 3 1/2
! months now).

I've had a Maxtor 1085 (71MB) hard drive running on a Data Technology
DTC 7287 RLL controller which gives me about 105 MB.  It's been running
for about 3 months NONSTOP (it's a UUCP server) with no hassles.  With
its 1:1 interleave, Spinrite tells me i have a 798k transfer rate (though
Spinrite tends to lie a bit :-) which is really impressive.
