Pardon my invincible naivity, but what is RLL and MFM and how do you tell which type a given hard drive is? I thought all hard disks would work with the A2090. No? (While we're at it, is there an upper limit to what the 2090 can controll? i.e. 60Megs) Any other peculiarities? -Doug Ghormley (dg2l+@andrew.cmu.edu)
