Hi:
I'm a newbie to the group and a long time volunteer at the Computer History
Museum, Mt View CA. We'd like to know the models of Conner HDDs shipped in
the Compaq Portable IIIs. The Conner model numbers should have the form of
CP340, CP341, CP342, CP3102, etc. The following is a list of the known
capacity and Compaq PNs for the Conner HDDs shipped by Compaq:

4 Drive type 17 if ROM earlier than R.2 is used.
5 Formats to 100 MB.

Just the Conner model number would be good, but I would appreciate as much
information as u can provide, such as the corresponding Compaq part number
(if marked), a photo of the Conner technical data plate, and some
information on the date of manufacture of the drive and system (such as
photos of pcbs showing date lot codes).

Does anyone have a PDP 14? Or has anyone ever seen one out in the "wild"?
If so, please contact me directly ;)
Thanks!

My ICT 1301 (built 1962) has a sort of sand finish, a bit like very
fine wood chip wallpaper. On the underside of one of the top covers
they missed some of the top coat and I can see the texture was in a
primer, which barely covers the metal. In the next couple of years I
am going to have to respray some areas where the covers have been
scratched, another where I've spot welded some changes and one where
the roof leaked and the covers have rusted through. Good job I'm also
a classic car restorer, but I've never come across sand texture paint
on a car, not even on my Land Rover recovery truck. If anyone happens
to know anything about sand finish, I'd love to know.
