We have, here at work, a bunch of Wren IVs (344Meg), Wren Vs (612Meg) and Wren VIs (701Meg) surplussed out of other machines. We would like to connect them to some of the Macs we have here. We have all the appropriate SCSI cabling and connectors. What software do I need to format the drives, install the drivers and otherwise set them up so that the Mac recognizes them. I have a floppy called CMS utilities which is able to query and return the correct SCSI id of the drives but can only format etc specific drives upto 80Meg. Where can I obtain the requisite software? Any help would be greatly appreciated. In a similar vein I have the same problem with an external DC 600A tape backup unit with a SCSI interface. What do I need to use it with a Mac other than the usual complement of cables and connectors. regards prabha -- Prabha Gopinath Off. (914)-945-6539 (m/c) Philips Research Laboratories Res.

Carl Nelson & Associates (Name may have changed) 4327 Rucker Avenue Everett WA 98201 (206) 252-6897 They offered a driver for the Wren III and I believe the same driver will work on the other SCSI Wren models. They may have specific drivers for them though. Micronet also has drivers for these disks but I don't know if they sell the software standalone without a disk purchase. -- Richard R.
