Rumor has it that the CDC "Wren" disk is SCSI, is 720MB, and is in the
neighborhood of $3000.  My questions:
	1) How/where do I order them?  I've struck out looking
	   through trade mags & The Computer Shopper.
	2) What's the catch here?  Large capacity, less than $5/MB,
	   SCSI ... it sounds too good to be true.  Was this price
	   a short-lived promotion?  Do the disks break immediately?
	   Do they make a lot of noise?  If you have some of these
	   units, please give me testimony about their quality.
	   I am djd@cs.columbia.edu.
