CDC WREN-V's : any experience

We've had a Wren-V-702 on a 3/260 running OS3.5, and on a 4/110 running
OS4.0. The disk, which was 702 MB unformatted, formats down to 602 MB.
After you put a file system on it you have ~575 MB left.  There _is_ a
problem with format under 4.0 which causes it to break while formatting
the Wren-V. OS 3.5, however, had no problems formatting the disk. I hear
that there's a new format under OS4.0.1, but I haven't gotten it for the
4/110 yet. Format under 4.0 is known to be buggy.

So far, it looks like a great little (big) disk...
