     I called Western Digital today(Monday) and they told me that the
WD1002-27X controller will only handle RLL drives; they also told me
that the CMI 5410-C drive will NOT handle RLL.  Out of curiosity,
does anyone make a RLL&MFM disk controller?

     Oh well, maybe "beep" wasn't really ready for the extra
storage after all...   B-)
