I was told by PGI, who used to be Priam distributors, that the only
difference between an ID/130 and an ID/230 was the 230 came with a RLL
controller and the 130 did not come with a controller.  They claimed
that Priam certified both drives for use with RLL controllers.  The
stopped selling Priam stuff because the company was hard to work with,
and not because the drives were unreliable.
