I evaluated the Perstore "ARLL" (Advanced RLL) controller and
decided against it in favor of (an Adaptec) standard RLL that can
achieve a 1:1 interleave and hence higher transfer rate to/from the
disk.  As I recall the ARLL was priced noticable higher than the RLL
(although I can't recall exactly how much right now, but this is
inews fodder so my followup doesn't get rejected, anyway, so who
really cares, eh?)
