Has anyone had any experience of using an old Rodim R0204E 40 Meg
5.25 inch full height (yes I know this is OLD!) hard drive on
an Archimedes?

It is an ST506 type drive. With MFM encoding.

I did hear someone mention that they could format this model
but many errors then were generated after verifying after a few
days of use.

Any advice appreciated.
