Message-ID: Date: 11 Dec 89 16:03:00 GMT Sender: news@brunix.UUCP Reply-To: mlm@cs.brown.edu Distribution: comp Organization: Brown University Department of Computer Science Lines: 28 (My apologies if this has been discussed before - I just joined.) Is it possible to use a MFM hard disk drive with an RLL controller? Are there particular MFM drives that will do it? How would I tell? I have a PC-XT at home with what I believe is an MFM drive and controller. I'm considering buying a second hard-disk, and was wondering whether I could just buy an RLL controller and disk, and connect my existing hard disk to it as a second drive. Alternatively, is there any reason not to have both an MFM and an RLL controller on the same machine? Thanks for any help...
