wuarchive.wustl.edu is a DECstation 3100 with two Imprimis (CDC) Wren V
disks (600M each, formatted) and an Exabyte (2GByte 8mm tape backup) and
it works perfectly.  We have just ordered a third Wren V and are trying
to get our greedy little hands on one of the new Imprimis Elite disks (1.5G)
for testing purposes.
