Hello,

I am in the market for a drive, but I cannot decide whether to go with RLL
or IDE. I am aware of the specs (embedded controller on IDEs and the like)
however my system (a 10MHz 286) does not have on board IDE connectors. And
since both types of drives will have to go through the AT bus, is there any
advantage(s) of choosing IDE over RLL?
My alternatives so far include a Toshiba MK134 with a WD1006SRV, and either
a Conner or Maxtor IDE drives (the 80MB models).
Thanks in advance,

Vassilios E. Axaris
