Mea culpa.  What I really have is a Western Digital WD1006 WA1/2 controller.
( RLL 1:1 16 bit controller)

The other day I posted news asking if anyone knew what brands of disks
are supported by this controller using 31 sectors per track.  If you select
user supplied parameters for a disk, the cards on board BIOS allows you to
select either 26 or 31 sectors per track.  So who makes these disks?  What
do they cost?  Anybody have good/bad/otherwise experience with them?


Chewey, get us outta here!
