I'm sure you'd have to patch or modify the device driver software,
since the RLL disk will have more sectors/track than the standard
ST506. There was mention of a German magazine article with source to
a hard disk device driver in it a couple of days ago, you might be
able to modify that.
Does anyone know if the current Supra drivers support RLL controllers?

The AHDI part should be a problem, but then only way to tell if your
SCSI->AHDI interface board is fast enough is probably to test it.
