Hmmm.
Wren III's come in several configurations. I have 6 of them on my desk
attached to a SUN 3/60 -- mine have 5 platters (9 heads), so I get
141Mb formatted. We got two of them in a box with power supply,
controller, etc. for about $5k. Yeah, they are fast, and I like 'em.
The OEM manual doesn't list a "90Mb formatted" configuration. Which
model is this?
