I need a drive type (and whatever other specs you might have) for a
Conner Peripherals CP3000 3 1/2" hard disk.  It's not written on
the drive anywhere I can see.  Type 8 "appears" to work, but I'm
pretty sure it's not the right type.

Also, does anyone have a setup program they could loan me that would
work with a Compaq 286/12 and accept the right drive type. I have an
old AT diagnostics disk that only accepts numbers up to 15, and I
suspect the right type is >15.

BTW, my memory problem turned out to be bad settings on the AST
memory board.  The boot test indicated 2M+640K of memory; when I took
the 2M card out the boot test indicated 2M of memory.  I found a
company that would sell me driver software and documentation for
the card cheap (Alphanumeric Systems).

Thanks.
