About the possible fact that the Seagate ST238 is an RLL drive, I thought
that Seagate used the following conventions:

- No letter appended to drive designation means ST412 drive using MFM encoding
  (supported by the A2090)
- letter "R" appended, means ST412 using RLL encoding (NOT supported by
  the A2090)
- letter "L" appended, means SCSI drive (supported by A2090)

So for example, there is an ST251, an ST251R, and an ST251N.  Please correct
me if I am wrong.
