Second, Does anyone know when the various hard drive interfaces were
developed? The ones I can think of include:
MFM (early 80's?) | You are confusing interfaces with recording schemes.
RLL (late 80's?) | These are actually recording schemes usually on a
SCSI (late 70's?) \ an ST-506 interface. RLL is also used with
ESDI (?) \other interfaces including ESDI, SCSI, and IDE.
IDE

any others? Thanks...
