[ Poor student asks about using Conner HD w/ Amiga ]

  My guess is that since it came out of a Compaq Machine it is
possibly a IDE drive, that is, it has a IBM AT type controller
built into the drive.  Take a look at the connector on the back.
If it has 40 pins, its a IDE drive.  If it has 50 pins, it is 
SCSI.

  If it is a IDE drive, it wont work with the A2090, etc, etc.  It
will work on the GVP 68030 accelerator card tho...  That is the *only*
card I know of for the Amiga that uses the IDE interface.

Hope this helps.
