Several dealers are advertising the ARLL disk controller from
PERSTOR. This claims to give a 1.9 X increase in storage on any
drive rated for MFM or RLL.  For example one company offers it
with the Seagate ST4096 drive (80 Meg 28mS full height MFM drive)
and says you get 150 Meg of storage.

Has anybody any direct experience with this controller or has
any magazine reviewed it ?. I have a ST4096  but I would like
to know whether it has problems before spending around $350 for
the controller.

Any comments appreciated, thanks....
