I have aquired a CDC Wren IV 330mb embedded SCSI drive.  Does anyone
know where I can obtain a SCSI controller for a 386 AT bus style mother
board?  Do SCSI controllers come with a formatter program?  Do they
normally need a CONFIG.SYS loaded device driver or does the extended
BIOS ROM on the SCSI controllers handle BIOS to SCSI translation.

I'm VERY familiar the older ST506 ways of doing things.  So I'm confused
about how I'll tell the system about the drive.  Or do the SCSI controllers
handle it all.

Anyone who can point me to a vendor where I can obtain a SCSI controller
with formatter and if required, device driver (for DOS and OS/2), I like
to hear from you.  Thank you.
