Is this the same as the 1.2 GB Wren 7 or was I shipped a slower disk? After building the disk (I installed it as an internal disk, I cannot boot normally from it; I get a "SCSI error" message. After I go into the monitor and "bsd", it hangs at the SCSI message, Ithen hit the power button and enter "n", it bootd and I end up with the # prompt; after hitting "Control-D" IT boots up into the normal NeXT operating sustem. Will these problems be solved when I rebuild the disk with System 2.0? Is there any fix I can do in the meantime? (I don't have direct access to usenet, sp I can't download any utilities. If you cannot respond to this, you can call me at home 202-363-3884 or the office 202-473-0383. I really wonder about the Wren 7/IMPRIMIS question. --Mitch
