This depends on which Xebec controller you have.  If it's the
S1410A as many early PC's used, there's also a SCSI host adapter
card.  In any case, you have to worry about three kinds of
conflicts:  Hardware port addresses, interrupts, and ROM.  I'm
not convinced you can use the OMTI RLL controller with another
controller.

It's also not surprising that your old 10 meg drive won't work with
RLL encoding.  It entails a higher bandwidth drive, and usually
requires plated media or sputtered coating disk, and a faster
seek time.
