The players:
1. Spurroughs (oops, Sperry) PCs of various flavors, including ITs, and
vanilla models with and without hard disk drives.

2. A SCSI interface card from ADSI (sic?)

3. A large box containing (at present) one WREN 30MB hard disk - I
have another such WREN that could be installed as well

Question:  Is there any *simple* way to connect one of the PCs to
use the WREN?  Do I hafta get another interface card?  How do I inform
DOS (levels 2.11 and 3.1, depending on the machine) that a hard disk
is attached?  What is SCSI anyway?

ANy information would be appreciated!

regards
TJ
