- Hi
- I've got this information a while back for my self as I run a
- PRIAM V150 Wish I could have a V185
- someting you maight not know is that all V100 series support the
- use of 2.7 RLL encoding in addition to MFM. When used with this
- type controller the drive capacity is expected to be icreased by 50%
- I use a SEGATE ST412 interface controller wich is RLL That I
- purchesed by mail from the STATES for around US$ 65 I couldent tell
- you exactly the name of the shop but if you really need it I'll try
- latter.
