[comp.unix.questions] CDC Wren IV = Seagate 4376N

acarlson@hardy.math.umass.edu (Adam Carlson) (04/10/91)

I have a Sun 3/80 running SunOS 4.1 for which I would like to buy a
~300M hard drive.  I am totally unknowing in the area of hard drive
trivia.  I would like to know 1) if the CDC Wren IV (94171) drive and
the Seagate 4376N are EXACTLY the same.  In other words.  If I buy a
Seagate (now that they have bought out Wren) can I install it with no
extra work (like adding format.dat entries). and 2) is that a good
choice for a drive of this size.

Any information would be appreciated.

*Note: to those of you who requested that I forward responses to my
last posting of a networking question, requests of this sort currently
outnumber actual responses 3 to 1.  If I don't get anything else soon,
I will send you the response I got.

Thanks
