I'm not sure of the largest, but I'm running Conner's 3204 212MB and
with a 16-bit 2HD/2FD controller was under $800.00.

	Do you know if they plan on making it available in SCSI or ESDI
	versions?  Sure would be nice to have 4 of those things
	running under ISC UNIX!

Conner typically makes their drives available in both SCSI and IDE
models. I've been trying to get someone to build a SCSI target adapter
that interfaces 8 IDE drives to the SCSI (-2) bus, but so far no
luck.
