The problem is that it's virtually impossible to find an MFM/RLL controller
that can use a secondary IRQ. They all seem to be hardwired for 14 (or is it 15,)
unlike the ESDI controllers which are often jumper selectable. One way around
it is to mess with the second controllers edge connector, but this is kind of
messy. If anybody knows of an MFM/RLL controller that is jumper selectable to
IRQ 15, would they care to post that information?
