Yabut, you're both missing my point. Hard drives aren't usually treated
the same as floppies. You install the (MFM,RLL) hard drive more or less
permanently in a system and leave it alone. You don't use your system
to read other (alien) systems' hard drives, at least not in common practice.
It would seem entirely reasonable to have firmware for a
machine-specific hard drive. If you have something different, then
compile a different version of the firmware.

guessing that the primary consumer of this device will be the DEC
community. The personal computer community has had various devices
(such as IDE or flash drive) as replacements.

I think there are lots of folks with odd-ball systems with MFM drives.
I have IBM3174 screen controllers....
