[comp.sys.amiga] C-Ltd expansion unit with CDC Wren III drive

ockenden@prlhp1.prl.philips.co.uk (Paul T Ockenden) (11/27/88)

I've got a C-Ltd expansion controller on the side of my 500, and I've
been happily running an adaptec 4000 and IBM type winnie for a long time.

I've recently 'obtained' a CDC Wren II SCSI 91Mb drive, but I can't seem
to get the thing working with the C-Ltd i/f..... Neither of the low-level
formatters seem to work...

I would phone C-Ltd, but it's quite expensive from the UK, and last time
I phoned they weren't a lot of help !!! (Yup, I *know* others say different!)

1) has anyone used a similar setup ??

2) can anyone tell me the latest version of the C-Ltd s/w (mine is 2.01) ??

Thanks....

you asked what the latest rev of cltd hard disk software is - i called them
a few days ago and they say 3.0 - and it comes with a real printed manual!
they will ship it to you for $25 in the US - don't know about across the
pond.

  C. Ltd's support/help/hardware seems sporadic at best. I could point you
to equal numbers of people are thrilled with them or disgusted with them.

No, but...

Their latest software is 3.0
