Has anyone succeded in running SV/AT on RLL drives ?  I assume this would 
require a new disk driver and some special parameters when doing the initial
"mkfs"

Has anyone done this ?

Version 2.4 supports RLL drives.  As I recall, 2.3 (and earlier) did not.

I have been running an Adaptec 2372 with two drives for about 1 1/2
years on this system.

I am currently running Microport System V/AT 2.4 on a Western Digital
WD1006V-SR2 and Miniscribe 6085.  The original controller was
a WD1003-WA2 (MFM).  All I did was backup the file system, install
the new controller, reformat the disk, reinstall UNIX and restore
the backups.  No software changes were needed.
