Has anyone tried the Miniscribe 6085 drive with an RLL
controller? I called the manufacturer who says they don't
recommend it, but since they market a separate, more
expensive drive for RLL use, I would expect them to say
that.

If it won't work, fine. Their RLL drive is the 6128 and
goes for about $900 with the Adaptec controller. Anyone
out there who has had experience with this combination?

I would be using this stuff with Xenix, er, SCO Unix/386
(a.k.a. Xenix v2.3.1) and would like to hear from anyone
who cares to comment about the use of RLL with this
OS.

As always, thanks in advance. Please email replies to me
at "tyager@apollo.com".
