I don't want this to sound like a commercial message, but I do market the
Adaptec ACB-2372 controller.  It is a drop-in replacement for the WD-1003
controller so, it supports two floppy drives as well as two RLL hard drives.

As Jim stated above, the Micropolis 1325 seems to work just fine when
run with the RLL format.  Many other drives work well also.  In particular,
Maxtor drives and virtually any hard drive which employes plated-media.  

If you can't find a source for the controller near you, I will be happy
to fill orders for them as a service to the usenet community.  Price is
$195.00 plus shipping.  You can place your order via e-mail, US Postal
