Hi everyone,

I'm having a bit of trouble getting a 20MB NEC 5126 into my system.

I've got a ST277R-1 65 meg RLL as the first drive, and I'd like to make
the NEC a RLL'd 32 meg drive (I know that's risky, but you only live
once!).

Failing that, I have an 8-bit MFM controller that I'd like to configure
to coexist with my 16-bit RLL controller. My 8-bit controller requires
some unusual specifications that I don't know, so I hope someone can
help me. I need the starting reduced write current cylinder, write
precompenstation cylinder, max correctable error burst length, and step

rate.



Thanks in advance,
