RLL ? Curently no. But I have a dosen of working ST225 with a dosen of ST11M
MFM controllers. Some of them ar\e still in use, mainly for booting purposes
(LILO) ...

Most of the boards work fine with 486. However, in most cases the BIOS

formatting needs a 386.
I think all of them should work on 586+ if without BIOS...
