Anyone out there know the specs (# of heads, blocks, formatted capacity, etc) of a Conner CP-340. I know it is a SCSI drive, but I have no other docs for it (actually I will be able to get about a dozen of these suckers). It is a 3.5" drive and my controller will be a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive card. Mike

It is a >3.5" drive and my controller will be a Pacific Peripherals Overdrive card. The CP340 has: 4 heads 26 blocks/track 788 cylinders (the above data from Conner's manual, Preliminary Revision II October 1987) As I recall from doing some testing with it, the CP340 is an exceedingly quiet unit. Performance specs: seek track-to-track 8ms average 29ms maximum 50ms theoretical transfer rate: 1MB/sec -- ========================================================================== Joe O'Hara || Disclaimer: I didn't say that!

(Formatted size depends on error tracks, etc). Best wishes, Darrin Hyrup -- Darrin A.

The Conner CP340 drive has the following: 4 heads 752 cylinders 26 blocks per track 512K blocks Interleave of 5 appears to work best. Hope that helps, Darrell --- * Via ProDoor 3.1R
