It's the MFM version.

 MR> The latter is RLL about 60M with 32s or 36s not sure now.

I did some hunting on the I-net and found the manual.  

It has some strange settings...  

I got it to be partially recognized.  I think there's an error 
on the boot track.  A DIR wouldn't give me a full list.  :(  

Now to find my old DOS utilities for one more go at it.  I think 
it has the data base that I want on it.
