Do you know any controllers solving the problem and let's use very
large drives? I'm planning to buy a CMD CQD-220/TM for our Vaxstation
for using with a Fujitsu 2266 or Wren VII. The Fujitsu is 29 K larger
than Wren VII (formated capacity with 512K blocks) and is just over 1
Gbyte but the Wren is few K under the magical 1Gbyte level...
