Since then I have been to Comdex, and I have some new information. First of
all, as most of you know, Rodime is in some very serious trouble. Maybe it
would be wise to avoid them for now for ANY use.

I hear now that the latest Miniscribes are actually a shade faster than the
Wrens. I'm not sure I believe this, but the fellow who said it should know
what he's talking about.

Miniscribe and Imprimis/CDC both have 5.25" half-height 380MB disks! The
access time claimed is 14-15ms.
