At MacWorld Boston, there was one company that was using a pair of 
CDC Wren Runners (10ms) in tandem, which gave them a 5 ms access time.
Is that fast enough?  Personally, I am satisfied with the 16ms access
time that I have (a Wren 4 or 5).

Have  I have missed something? is there something special about the
IIci that makes normal external SCSI disks not work?
