Keywords: RLL, Miniscribe, 3650, Harddisk Message-ID: <461@upvax.UUCP> Date: 19 Sep 88 17:35:46 GMT Reply-To: stevewa@upvax.UUCP (Steve Ward) Distribution: na Organization: University of Portland, Portland, OR Lines: 22 I've seen notes from time to time suggesting that the media on the Miniscribe 3650 is good enough to use as an RLL drive. Well, I have one of same, and am considering getting an RLL controller if it's reasonably reliable when using this drive. So I'd like to hear from anyone who's tried using the 3650 with RLL encoding...I'm interested in reliability, how much storage you ended up with, and any difference in speed. I'd also like reccomendations on controllers...Ideally I'd like to get one with the floppy controller on the same board (like WD's), since otherwise I'd have to buy a seperate floppy controller. Oh, by the way, it's running on my 10MHz AT, so I'll need a 16-bit controller.
