I have a PC/AT and the following disks:

Quantum RD52 model Q540
Micropolis RD53 model 1325d

I was told the micropolis is an MFM disk.  I don't know what the quantum
disks are and they haven't returned any calls.  Anyone know what kind
of controller will work with a quantum?  Also, does anyone know what
the drive type is for these disks?  Lastly, I have a 300MB priam (ESDI).
Will an MFM controller work with this disk?  Any help would be greatly
appreciated.
