We received our 2nd shipment of CDC's 94601-12G AKA as Wren VII "1.2GIG".
we do not seem to be able to complete a format under SunOS 4.03, the
format ends up with "format failed". the feeling is that's a timing
problem, HAS anyone had a better experience with this drive under 4.03. We
do not seem to have any problems at all when formatting on a solbourne
with OS/MP 4.0.
