i'm told that the CDC Wren V SCSI disks "just work" on the NeXT.  the unit
we are buying has been configured with a CDC Wren V 94181-640, 640 Mb
unformatted.  these can be had for about $3000, which is about $3000 less
than what NeXT wants.

i plan on connecting my NEC CDR-77 CD-ROM player to the external SCSI port.
hopefully, this won't be too painful.

from reading this group, i gather that 8Mb RAM is not adequate.  can someone
email their success/sob story about using 4Mb parts?  if it is not recommended
i guess i'll simply expand to 16Mb using 1Mb parts.

thanks,
