Nope, CDC. Later spun off into Imprimis, which was still later bought by
Seagate.
At one point my home box (OEM 12-slot VME crate that my wife painted a
lovely green) had three Wren IVs, one from each company. Hell of a
way to get 1GB of storage, but cheap. Later replaced the lot with one
Wren 7.
None of them ever gave me a day's trouble (unlike the pile of Deathstars
we've replaced this year), so I appreciate Plan 9's little "homage".
