I'm sorry, folks, but you've just managed to confuse the kid here (me):

	I thought the Seagate ST238 started out life as a 38MB (unformatted)
	drive that, after normal formatting, could be expected to give
	you 30MB usable.  What is special about the RLL controller giving
	Scott 30MB?  I think I have missed something here, but I'm not
	sure what!
