I need or should use a MFM drive. I know the RLL drives used a better
recording surface to get more data in the same size but the controller
is a MFM st506 from a Cromemco 250 system so it only knows MFM. I guess
I could use a RLL drive and low level format it but I don't remember if
that caused problems or not. Thanks

can't seem to located a new or pulled drive. I would one that is 40Meg

I'm confused. Do you mean a drive with an ST412 interface and not
an actual ST506 (5MB unbuffered seek) drive? There should be some of
those kicking around, surely.
