Hi,
While I've never done it, I'd imagine this
would be OK. I know people
who formatted MFM drives with RLL controllers. Most worked OK.. but I
think some had problems longer term.
As Chuck explains in a later message, this normally works fine as long as
you use good quailty drives.
I did this with many drives in the early 90's (before I switched to SCSI)
and only ever had problems with two drives - and that was limited to a few
bad sectors which weren't apparent when formatted with an MFM controller.
TTFN - Pete.
