I am trying (so far unsuccessfully) to format and install a CDC Wren VI to my Sun 3/60. Has anyone done this? I can get the Sun to talk to the Wren (and even format it for, say, 5Mb). My main problem at this stage is computing the number of sectors per cylinder and such. The Wren apparently has a variable number of sectors per cylinder from the inside cylinders to the outside, and the Sun formatting software doesn't know anything about that. (In fact, it wants me to have an Emulex or Adaptec controller, which I shouldn't need since the Wren has a built in SCSI controller). Anyone ever done this before?
