It should be able to do the low-level format.  I just did it.  What error do
you get?  The reason the program complains about the lack of an on-disk buffer
is the Wren III drive does not have read ahead ability.  What version do you
have of SCSICNTL.EXE?  The current version is 4.8.

If you want more than 2 HD's for DOS, you will need to get the ASW-1410
package.  It is available from Anthem, Wyle Labs, or Hamilton-Avnet.
