You are a glutton for punishment :-), I'd forgotten about RLL, did that for a 
while on a pair of ST-4096 Seagates behind a Perstor controller.  "Big" hard 
disks were a real challenge in DOS 3.x days (remember when over 34Mb was 
"big"?).  Now-a-days you can't even load Win '95 on less than 200Mb and that 
only if you don't load any applications.  Guess I'd better get back on topic 
though, before one of our Australians takes another wack at the moderator...
