Hell, is that an understatement. I knew someone that used an RLL 
controller on a Seagate ST-225.  I'd never try it after seeing
how many nights he stayed up trying to figure out why he was
losing so much data and crashing his machine.  He reformated
with a different card and his problems have vanished.
If you want 30meg go out and buy a 30 meg drive.
