Two years ago I've purchased a Wren V from Uninet Peripherals, Santa Ana,
CA.  The disk controller (I think) has failed (after year and a half)
throwing errors such

   esp0: Current command timeout for Target 2 Lun 0
   sd0:   SCSI transport failed: reason 'reset'
   ad2:   incomplete read- retrying

when fscking the drive.

Repeated phone calls to Uninet Peripherals and e-mail messages to Neil
Gorsuch <zardoz!neil@uunet.uu.net> are ignored and un-answered.  I suggest
caution if you are considering any dealing with this company.
