Antonio,
I still have working RD54s (maxtors) (151mb DEC RQDX3 formatted).
For MFM 160mb was about the largest. For RLL you could get
to about 200mb. EDSI was the 200mb and larger interface
for the largest of the 5.25" non integrated drives.
SCSI started with drives in the 20MB range but I have
SCSI-1 drives like RZ56s (5.25" full height)
at 670MB and a RZ58 (5.25" full height) at a 1.3GB.

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.
