The Wren V works fine with a Mac II.

There are some mode select pages that have options that should be set
for optimal performance ( like, enable the cache ).  Also, you can tell
the drive to remap bad blocks when it finds them rather than having to
handle that in the driver or formatter.  This option is setable in one
of the mode select pages.

I don't know anything about SF&I ( I use my own formatter and driver ),
but if you can't get it to set these bits, you could always write a
program specifically for this purpose, or use something like SCSI Tool
to issue the mode select commands you need.
