I have a Toshiba MK134FA-1 harddrive that I am currently using with an MFM
controller.  When I bought it I was told that it would work with an RLL
controller without any problems.  I'm wondering if anyone knows if the
MK134FA-1 is "approved" for an RLL controller.  I've seen lots of places
around here advertising them as 65MB harddrives (MFM = 42MB).  Might there
be two different drives?  I've been very pleased with the drive, and would
like to hang on to it (I will be switching to a machine with an RLL controller)
if I can, but I'd rather not risk it if the horror stories people tell of
MFM and RLL controllers really are true.

Thanks.
