I need or should use a MFM drive. I know the RLL

I could use a RLL drive and low level format it but I don't remember if
that caused problems or not. Thanks
Formatting an RLL-certified drive with an MFM controller should not
cause any hassles - just a loss of capacity compared to the RLL
format. An ST238R formats just fine as an ST225.
