Why not just follow-up like everyone else would? It makes responding
so much easier for people who want to respond to your comments.
I'm having problems quoting, so I'll just say what I want to say.
The theory is that you can format an MFM drive with an RLL controller
on an IBM to get 30megs, for example, instead of 20megs. On the ST,
I don't know how safe this is. But, if you want to use an MFM or RLL
drive on the ST with a ICD, Supra, or BMS, or any other host adapter
you can find, you need either an Adaptec or an OMTI controller. The
Atari Megafiles use an Adaptec, but I hear the OMTIs are better. If
you want more information about these, I suggest you call ICD at
1-815-968-2228. Their BBS number is 815-968-2229. Or you can reach
them on GEnie and CompuServe.
