I just got a new RLL 1:1 caching controller.  It looks hot.  It will
cache 64K in look ups.  The problem I am having though is that I need to
do a lowlevel format and my BIOS are old and don't have my drive
specifications in the format tables.  I have an AT type computer.  The
drive is 830 cyl, 10 heads, and is a Toshiba drive.  I know it is a RLLable
drive, because I am using it RLL already, I just got a new 1:1
controller.  Does any one know of a program that will let me enter in
the direct specifications of the drive with out using DEBUG or firmware
routines which I don't have.  Please help!  Please respond with mail.
I can't check news all that often.
