Hi:
I'm doing some research for the Computer History Museum and would very much like to know as much information about the Conner HDDs shipped in the Compaq Portable III. A list drives Compaq claims to have shipped is at:
http://oldcomputers.net/compaqiii.pdf

As a minimum I'd like to know the Conner Model Number which might be a CP340, CP341 or CP342 or some such number and if you have the corresponding Compaq part number that would also be great. A photo of the technical data plate and enuf of the printed wiring board to date the drive would be outstanding.

Inspection is pretty simple, see the PIII manual at

7 screws to remove at most (I hope)

Any help would be appreciated

Conner CP-321, Type 2.

The 'face' of the drive doesn't have the info; it's on a small sticker on the side of the drive.

Yep, it was easy to take apart, but holy cow what a chore to get the drive tray back in.

Hope it helps. I've learned much from your website over the years. :computer:
