HI:

Around 40MB, IDE. Use Type 17 or 820/6/17, fdisk then format.
I had several before, not bad drive and best for battery powered
portables. Lowest power useage around 3 Watts.. Closest is WD1270
for that wattage range at 270MB and very few larger drives as well.
Aside from this, I have an HD CP3184 which I thought was
180MB which was not true! I was surprised at this and this is
somewhat nonstandard model convention for Conner.
Truly 80MB Sheesh .Another nonstandard naming is CP3111 which is
also used same logic board but formatsout to nearly 100MB.

Thanks for any help.

The following should answer all your hard drive questions for this and
other models. It's a page well worth bookmarking.

Technical data for conner hard drives is available at
www.seagate.com/support/disc/index.shtml
In this case, it says the cp3044 has 980 cylinders, 5 heads, and 17 sectors,
and a capacity of 42.6 megabytes.

It's a 42mb IDE. It's native parameters are 1047 cyls, 2 heads, 40 sectors per
track. The translated parameters for machines that can't use over 1024 cyls is
665cyls, 16 hds, 63 sectors per track. It's an autopark drive, 3.5" 3H, 25 ms
access. RWC and LWC don;t apply to this drive.

Should be som 40 MB IDE, but try
http://www.seagate.com/support/disc/specs/modelno.shtml
to get more information - the segate/connor specs are
realy helpfull. (And mormaly Connor disks had a sticker
with the C/H/S numbers - most the same as where the number
modell number is).
