Hi guys,
Does anyone know what the largest capacity MFM or RLL (i.e.
ST-506/ST-412 type interface) hard disk was? I know the AT
drive types
go from 0 to 46 (plus user defined type 47), and the largest
of these is
#46: 1224 cyls, 15 heads, 17 secs (152MB). Question is, did anyone
ever make an MFM drive that big, or was that strictly IDE territory?
The DEC RD54 (Maxtor XT-2190) was 159MB or so. I once had a brace of
them on a PC.
