I have a CDC Wren V 94181-702 connected to my 3/80 sitting on my desk.  It
works fine, providing 613M of formatted space.  This is in addition to a
single internal 104M we got from Sun with the system.  We got the Wren V
from BoxHill Systems Corp.  Sorry, I don't know the price other then the
fact that they were low bidder, and a LOT cheaper than the equivalent from
Sun.  We simply plugged it in, ran "MAKEDEV sd0", built file systems, and
started using it.  No trouble at all.
