RLL Controllers

[Michael Fallavollita]

Has anyone had any trouble with RLL controllers on 386 machines?
I have tried both the Adaptec 2372B and an OMTI RLL controller
and have had very weird errors.  The adaptec worked for about a week
before I got sector not found errors and finally boot errors.  When
I was installing the OMTI I got controller errors from SpeedStor when
doing a media analysis on cylinders 612-614.  Also, I was unable to
get SpeedStor to set the bad track table correctly.  It said it was
doing it but when I format, those tracks are not locked out.

Does anyone have a recommendation between the OMTI and the ADAPTE
controllers.  The OMTI I have now belongs to a friend and I'm 
definately going to return the Adaptec and get either a new one or
a different controller.  

Any opinions on which controller would be appreciated.
