Macintosh IIfx: CDC Wren Hard Drive Compatibility (11/94)



Is there a way to connect a CDC Wren Series 7 94601 or CDC Wren Series 6 602 to the SCSI port of the Macintosh IIfx? Both hard disks need to be connected synchronously.

We called Seagate Technical Support and asked them about the two drives mentioned above. They were aware of the CDC Wren 94601 but not the CDC Wren 602. There is a CDC Wren 94602 but it is not compatible with the Macintosh. Note: CDC is a division of Seagate.

There is a specific model of the CDC Wren 94601, the CDC MacWren 94601-1.2GM, that is, according to Seagate, compatible with the Macintosh IIfx; other models of the CDC Wren 94601 are not compatible with the Macintosh IIfx. Driver software and cables are available from a company called Ontrack (Technical Support: 612-937-2121; Sales: 800-752-1333).
