     We've got a *TON* of CDC Wren 5's on campus.  All SCSI, and most hooked 
up to VS 3100's.  Three of them are happily hooked up to a VS 3520.  We've 
taken to ordering systems that will have extra storage w/o a disk from digital
and with the SCSI/SCSI controler installed, and then plugging in one of these
CDC Wren 5's.

     Of course, our tape library has been growing by leaps and bounds ever
since we started using them...  looks like it's time to get an Exabyte!
