I have been using the Perstor model PS180-16FN in a 16MHz, PCDesigns, 386
box with a Miniscribe 3085 for about 6 weeks.  It requires 2:1 interleave,
and the data transfer rate is just a little faster than with the previous
2:1 MFM controller it was on.  There have been no problems so far that I
can trace to the controller, but the machine has given some problems on
power on, and once gave a "floppy drive controller failure" error message.
This has not happened for two weeks, and I do not know if the controller
was the cause of the message or not.
