The MicroNet drives are built from the CDC Wren III, IV, and V series, with
very high performance statistics.  They have up to 600mb of storage, with
access times around 16ms, and they even have a new Wren V "Runner" that has
10ms access time (UNcached!).  I've heard many good things about these drives
and I have personally purchased a hard drive from MicroNet (although it was a
Rodime and not a CDC - about nine months ago).  They were more than helpful,
and I plan to replace my 140mb drive with a CDC sometime soon (also to be
purchased from MicroNet).  The drivers that they ship with the CDC drives
support both A/UX and Mac-OS.

}Thanks in advance...

No problem...  (no relation to Micronet other than a happy customer)
