Anybody know anything about this? Thanks. Bob M., PSU- > Harrisburg. The RLL controllers should work in your machine. You might need a ROM upgrade. Do not , however, try to format your st251 with an RLL controller. RLL controllers should be used with RLL drives only. You are just looking for trouble if you use MFM drives with RLL controllers.
