	I took the two MFM drives that were in my old '286 and RLL'd them.
The ones I used were an ST4096 and an ST251-1.  Those drives are still
in my '386, and have worked flawlessly for over two years now.  I'm 
fairly sure that the physical media on the MFM and RLL versions of the
drives are the same, but I could be wrong (and I'm sure to be flamed 
if I am).  Based on my experience, it should work, but there's ALWAYS 
something that can go wrong :)
