Thats wrong!

I am succesfully running IBM OS/2 1.2 with a RLL controller & disk,
WD 1006SR2 and Seagate ST-4096 (RLL'ized :-).

No special disk driver is needed for OS/2, the standard AT bus disk
driver that comes with OS/2 works well. As far as I know, some IBM PS/2
disks are also RLL. The interface of MFM and RLL controllers is both
ST-412/506, with different data rate and sectors per track.
Carefully written disk drivers can handle both.
