I'd like to hear from anyone who has used CDC Wren IIIs on Sun as
local storage.  The specific disk I'm interested in is a Wren III,
182MB, ESDI.  I have the following questions but I'd like to hear from
anyone about their experiences:

1.  Will the Wren III work with Sun's software?  In particular, can
    I format it on the Sun?

2.  If I can't format it, how hard is it to change their software
    (we have a source lic.) and what needs to be changed?

3.  Are their other CDC SCSIs that work in a Sun "as shipped"?

Any help and discussion on this topic will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
