I have used RLL for years and it works fine if you use the right disks intended
for RLL use. RLL disks are certified by their manufacturers for use with RLL
controllers. RLL has been around for awhile and is a stable, reliable product
if used correctly. I perfer using RLL for two reasons: I usually get a bigger
bang for the buck (ie, more megabytes for the dollar) and when I sell a used
RLL disk I know it is both MFM and RLL compatible.

Unfortunately, you were burned by a supposedly reputable vendor who cut corners
to line their pockets and you both paid.

I appreciate your frustration and obvious hesitancy regarding RLL disks. But I
want to make known to others who may read this that RLL works fine when its
used as intended. :->
