[comp.periphs.scsi] PC SCSI Controllers

jdg@elmgate.UUCP (Jeff Gortatowsky CUST) (02/24/90)

I'm hoping that someone out there who knows his or her SCSI can
give me some advice.  Maybe even someone from Adaptec or Western
Digital (are they on the net?).

Let me not waste time... The drive is a CDC Wren IV (1546cyl,
9hd,46secs) with an embedded SCSI controller.  My computer is 
a 386 PC-Clone, ISA-BUS (not EISA), Pheonix BIOS (Older one == No 
drives defined >1024cyls), no net adapters, VGA card.  I would 
like to run the WREN but know zip about SCSI controllers for my 
bus.  I have zip for a formatter (1st problem), and no drive table 
that has enough cyliders to use it if I did have a formatter
(2nd problem).

Anyone provide/know-of a SCSI controller *WITH BUNDLED SOFTWARE* 
(== formatter, partitioner, and on card BIOS to translate sectors > 46 
to cylinders > 1024 tranparently) that could run this card?  
Any replies welcome.  Hope I didn't take up too much space or post
to an inappropriate group.
