I am running IBM Version 2.00 Xenix (System V), on a 286 machine
(a true-blue PC AT).  My hard disk died, and I now want to run an
RLL controller-drive combo.   Specifically, I want to use the
Adaptec 2373 controller with a Miniscribe drive.  My question is,
does IBM's Xenix run as is with an RLL setup?  Or do I need to
set the parameters (# sectors per track)?  Or do I need a new
driver for the Adaptec controller to install?  If the latter,
where can one get such a device driver?  Thanks in advance.
