Is this at all possible? I have a large (300 meg) ESDI drive, and only
RLL and MFM controllers. I'm perfectly willing to have the drive not
format to capacity, if I can get even 100 meg out of it, I'd be happy.

(Note: I can't GET an ESDI controller because I don't have a PC. What
I've got is a mac and a choice between an MFM SCSI controller and a RLL
SCSI controller, both boards made by Adaptec.)

Any help would be appreciated.

Stupid flames about one computer being better than another to alt.flame.
