As a new owner of a 6300+, can someone tell me what IS on the official
list of supported drives for the 6300+, particularly for UNIX users?
I have talked to several people with varying levels of expertise, and I
have been told that only the CDC Wren II will support SimulTask UNIX/MSDOS.
(I'm looking to upgrade to a faster, larger hard drive).

And while we're on the subject of 6300+ compatibility, what about memory
expansion boards that support UNIX?  Again, I have been told there is only
one such board, the INTEL above-board made explicitly for the system.  But,
they cost $550 for .5 Meg, far too rich for my blood.

ANY info would be very much appreciated.

Opinions?  Opinionated people should be shot!  I mean, give them
a million dollars, maybe; but then again, maybe not.  Oh, I don't care ...
