I know Minix supports MFM drives, and I think it supports RLL drives if
a couple of constants in the hard disk device driver are changed.  I
have also seen people post SCSI device drivers.

Question: Just what are IDE and ESDI drives, and does Minix support
them (yet)?  Is any official support planned?

It seems that MFM and RLL drives may go the way of the dinosaur.
