Well, as I've said several times before, the WD1007/WA2 fakes 17 sectors
very nicely with my ESDI 130meg CDC drive.  I'm going to make a bid on a
second drive tomorrow, giving a total of 260meg on the system if I buy it.
This is with the old hd.o for unix/386.

If anyone knows of an RLL controller that fakes 17 sec/trk I'd like to hear
about it.
