I am thinking about getting a Perstore harddisk controller. It uses
"ADRT" to get 190% of MFM capacity. Has anyone actually tried it?
Any answers for:
	- compatibility with motherboards, BIOS, bus-speed, ...
	- compatibility with MFM & RLL drives
	- compatibility with DOS 3.3 & 4.0
	- compatibility with Disk-manager, Speedstore, ...
	- compatibility with SpinRite, ...
	- compatibility with Norton, PC Tools, ...
	- actual performance, (even Norton, CoreTest, ...)
	- documenation
	- support
	- specific model information


[I know all about MFM (Modified Frequency Modulation), RLL (Run
Length Limited) and even what RLL 2,7 means. I know Perstore is
using a more compact RLL, I am looking for actual operation experience.]

Please e-mail. I will post a summary.
