   Am I smoking crack, or do the "mount it on a PC" answers ignore the fact
that it's an RLL drive?  Doesn't that mean that a PC is not going to handle
the 7300's low-level format?

You could of course use a standard RLL ISA controller WD and others made
them when RLL was hot.
And even a 486 out runs a 3B1 several times. But there are of course lots of
P1/P2/P3 systems with one or 2 ISA-slots witch can be used.
