I had a great deal of difficulty getting dmdrvr.bin to work with RLL
controllers, in particular the WD1002-27x and the Adaptec 2070a. I
gave up and went to Golden Bow's Vfeature. It has it's annoyances,
but it works. A delightfull side effect of using this package was
that I could access the extra 200 cylinders on a Maxtor 1140 that are
not normally supported by AT/DOS machines, (1224 cylinders, usually
only 1024 are accessible).
