They also have a variable number of sectors per track. In my case, I purchased the upgrade from a local distributor at a fraction of the cost from Sun. However the drive I used was a SCSI interface. Check /etc/format.dat to see what drives are supported. You may find a Wren entry for a similar drive. ========================================================================== Michael L.
