	Go with a CDC Wren III hard drive, there are the ones they sell

		16-18.5ms
		90 MB formatted
		The Manf. states 30,000 MTBF
		I think NuData and Jasmine sell it around 1400-1500

Hmmm.

Wren III's come in several configurations.  I have 6 of them on my desk
attached to a SUN 3/60 -- mine have 5 platters (9 heads), so I get
141Mb formatted.  We got two of them in a box with power supply,
controller, etc. for about $5k.  Yeah, they are fast, and I like 'em.

The OEM manual doesn't list a "90Mb formatted" configuration.  Which
model is this?
