those boards are reported to work with Interactive Unix release 2.02 -
but the throughput is very slow - about 60% of that which can be 
obtained when using a fast 1:1 RLL controller.   Since the Perstor
controllers run the drives beyond factory specs - these controllers
have been known to work with very few drives - and quite frequently
have pushed drives..

A much better investment would be purchasing a drive of the size you
need and running it with an approved controller..
