You'd need to watch a wave form of the signal coming off the head, then
mark what each type of drive detects to understand the difference. One
detects highs and lows, the other detects when it changes from one state
to the other. (More or less.)
Maybe you can use the internet to find a reference to MFM, RLL and GCR
'encoding' and why they are different. (It's the hardware!) I do not
know how to explain it differently to you as we share no frame of reference.
Sorry,
Ed
