   I finally gave up on my Perstor controller, even tho I eventually got
all of the incompatibility problems fixed (slow writes & error on warm
boots).  After they were fixed, I started to get data errors until the
computer warmed up.  I had also read in a couple places (incl Feb Byte)
about what RLL and ARLL are, & that they require better drive
characteristics.  I became worried that even if I got it working now, I
might start having problems later, after the drive started to age. 

    So thanks to an understanding local dealer, I was able to return the
card.
