  These are the DEC MFM drives:

  RD50 - Seagate ST506
  RD51 - Seagate ST412
  RD52 - Quantum Q540
  RD53 - Micropolis 1325
  RD54 - Maxtor XT2190
  RD31 - Seagate ST225
  RD32 - Seagate ST251

  I've never seen anything but RD50, RD51, and RD52 drives in a Pro.
I'm not sure if the others are supported or not.
