I am considering purchasing either a Wren V (702 M unformatted) or
a Wren VI (766 M unformatted) hard disk for my Mac IIci. (The disk
manufactor is now owned by Seagate) I am planning on running AUX 2.0
on it.
The questions I have are:
1) There are two version of these SCSI drives. The MacWren
version is different from the standard WREN drive because
of different firmware on the drives.
Do I have to get the MacWren version of the drive for it
to work with the Mac? Will the MacWren drive work with other
computers (i.e. Sun IPC sparcstation)?
2) Who makes a power supply / cabinet / fan unit with appropiate
cabling for this? I know about Unimac, but would like to know
some other sources as well. Do they come with formatting
software, drivers, etc?
3) Is there any unknown problems running under AUX 2.0? What about
formatting the harddisk, etc.? Is there any limits on how
large a file systems can be?
4) My last question deals more with AUX 2.0 and the CD-ROM player.
I was wondering if anybody else running AUX 2.0 with a CD-ROM
unit have had problems with the scsi timing out while reading
the drive? There has been a couple of times where the scsi has
timed out and recovered reading the data, and also timing out
and aborting the read. I was running the command:
man -d * | lpr
Thanxs in advance.
