My appologies if this has been asked (and answered) before.  I just recently
got net access.  Due to a bizzare upgrade path, I currently have an XT style
hard disk controller in my 286.  I'm ready to buy a 16 bit AT controller
and have one last question.  Is it worth the extra money to get a controller
that can use a 1:1 interleave?  My machine is a 10 MHz, 0 wait state 80286
so speed shouldn't be a problem (should it?).  I have also heard that you
need a 28mS step drive for 1:1 to work.  Is this true?  I guess I've been
wanting to upgrade my ST238 anyway...

Another question comes to mind.  Has anyone tried to format a Seagate ST4096
RLL (2,7)?  I have heard that it won't work, but they said my ST225 wouldn't
either and it works great.

Email if you can.  I can't help you with the path (yet) as I am still trying
to figure it out myself.  Thanks.
