I would like to get any information people on the net have regarding two
subjects.  Please respond by mail, if there is enough interest I'll
sumarize.

1) RLL and ARLL Controllers
ADAPTEC has several relatively inexpensive controllers out that
can greatly increase disk capacity and speed.  I'm thinking about
getting one of these.  Does anyone have any information or experience?
I've heard you have to have a good, reliable disk to run these on, but
I have a ST4096 which is a plated-media drive.

2) Partion Format
Does anyone have or know where to get a hold of the format and location
of the partion data on a hard disk?

Thanks,

Steven Parkes
