Could somebody send me an address for Adaptec?  They aren't in any phone book
around here, not even the AT&T 800 directory.

Also, are the Wren drives internal (in the RT disk bays) or external (separate
cabinet)?  Is it necessary to retain at least one ESDI-type drive for booting?

I have some pending calls for info on Wren & HP drives, but in case they don't
pan out I'd appreciate some info on the various drives: capacity (formatted),
speed (seek, transfer rate, etc), etc.  Comments on service arrangements would
also be appreciated: cost, responsiveness, turn-around time, etc.
