I think your talking about the CP-3500/3504.  It is a 510MB hard disk drive
and has a suggested list price of $1,295.00.

I ask about this on the net about 3/4 months ago, someone called Conner and
asked them about the drive.  They said it would be ready in about 6 months.
I guess maybe they are a little ahead of schedule.
