  Bzzt! Wrong answer!

  The original poster wanted to know what the drive type was for his
20 Meg drive in his Z286LP.  Now, unless somebody changed the chassis 
when I wasnt looking, the Z286LP only accepts 3.5" drives.  It would 
be kinda tough to fit those 5.25" drives that you listed above into 
this particular computer.

  So the original reply was correct.  The Conner CP322 or CP3022 as
as used in the Z286LP uses drive type 6.
