that running a rll drive ?
|
It's running a Shuggart ST-412, full-height 10M HDD. It's encoded in MFM. Technically, there is no such thing as a RLL or MFM drive. RLL and MFM are encoding methods, and either could be employed to run these old style HDD. You can get about 50% more storage using RLL - so your 10M MFM drive could hold 15M if encoded by an RLL controller. However, some drives, like the ST-412, lost reliability when RLL-encoded. Later drives (ST-225) were more reliable with RLL encoding and were able to be run with MFM or RLL controllers. Under RLL, the 20M ST-225 could store a massive 30M!
I've just cleaned and fixed some old 8-inch floppy drives on an ancient 1976 computer. As old as this stuff is, it works great and is still younger than my car - which also is still running great. In both cases, they run better than WindowsME!
