	you probably won't have much success trying to run a drive
	designed for mfm with an rll controller.some drives can
	stand it for a while,but eventually it ends up ruining the
	interface cicuitry on the drive.also,some the disk used in
	mfm drives can't pack the info as tight,hence the data errors.
	either get an rll drive to go with the controller,or an mfm
	controller to go with the drive!
