Ok,  I've been away for a while and need some info:

My Predicament:

I want to build a hard drive system for my St.  Basically I need to buy a
host adapter, a controller card, case, power supply, and hard drive.

I will most likely get a seagate hard drive, and the Icd host adapter.

Now i have also seen from Icd the host adapter + controller kit (either
MFM or RLL).. Now I really have no idea what MFM or RLL means, so If i 
buy a seagate hard drive, (Probably something like a 296N (i think thats it)
which kit should i buy, the RLL or the MFM?

Please reply in email.

Thanks for any help.
