     I am planning to purchase some CDC-Imprimis Wren-IV SCSI
drives, and I think the price I am arranging may be of interest
to other net-readers.  It looks as if I can get this drive for
somewhere between $900 and $1000, depending on the quantity
purchased.  If you think you may want one, please e-mail me and
indicate approximately how interested you are, and I will see
what kind of price I can get (but understand that this is still
a bit tentative).

     Following are the specifications for the drives:

CDC-Imprimis Wren-IV  (94171-307)
New, 1 year warranty
SCSI interface
320 Meg (formatted) capacity
16ms average access time
Full Height, 5.25", Auto-park
Rated MTBF: 100,000

I asked a few weeks ago about how this drive compared to the
Miniscribe 9380S's which have recently become available
inexpensively, and the consensus was that this was by far the more
reliable drive.

My plan is to arrange the purchase, but then have people buy them
directly from the dealer.  How well has this method worked
before?
