Does anyone have a SunOS 4.0.3 /etc/format.dat entry for a CDC Wren VI?
Unfortunately, my disk didn't come with the product specification, so I
can only guess most of the parameters. Also, I can't seem to find any
description of the /etc/format.dat format anywhere in Sun's documentation,
can anyone help me with this?

[[Ed's Note: Don't forget that I'm accepting your favorite format.dat
entries now to make an official comp.sys.sun format.dat file. Right now,
we have *3* whole entries, so they aren't exactly overfilling my mailbox.
[The Wren VI is not one of the 3 :(]. If we get a reasonable amount, this
will serve as a valuable utility during the disk installation process and
also help to cut down the number of "what's the format.dat entry for
so&so?" that we see so much of on here. -bdg]]
