  David, I am running a WD1006-SR2 RLL controller with 2 Seagate harddrives
right now (a 277R and a 157R), in conjunction with a Diamond Stealth VRAM
video card.  The video card and HD are not having any problems coexisting...
what kind of video card are you <attempting to> use?  Does it's BIOS try
to use the same memory space as the HD controller?  I believe that the WD
default BIOS address is $CC00, and if your card tries to use that address
space, it will of course not work.  Make sure they use different addresses.
  As for RLL living with IDE, there were articles a few days/a week ago to
that efect, and the results were positive.  It *should* be possible, and 
someone out there has done it.  <Whoever it was, help out here, eh?>
