In response to the query about Wren V 700MB disks...

I installed one on a Sun 3/50 and it works very nicely. I selected the
Emulex controller. The information that I used was that the wren has 1532
sectors, 15 heads, 51 sectors/track, and two spares. I got about 82% of
the capacity out of it. They have a new CDC drive coming out that is
supposed to be 1 GB of storage.

I also installed a third party Wangtek 150 MB tape. I learned after the
purchase
that you cannot boot from a third party tape drive. It still can be
used for
reading tapes from other vendors and for backups.

Hope this helps...
