Yeah- I have a 20 Meg and 40 meg. I tried swapping the ROM from the 40 to
the 20, and hooking up a 40 meg drive. It worked.   I hoped I'd find a 100
meg someday, but all I find are those darned SCSI cards.  ;-)

Yes- those Connor 40 meg drives were Compaq OEM parts. It's probably
possible to find what model they were used in, and then look for those.
They're very well made, with a rubber grommet suspension for the disk
section. They are quiet compared with the stock WD drives, too.
