Lines: 35 Ok. One of my original questions was will a ST238 work with a 2090A controller. The answer is that it will, but I will only get 20meg when formatted because it is a MFM controller, not RLL. Is there such thing as a MFM hard drive that is a 30meg? If the cost of a used 30meg is similar to a new 20meg then I'd be paying for reliability, right? I may pick this route (the used 30 meg is at a really good price).
