I have been on the Ontrack board the last couple of months and a lot of 
messages centers on Novell and Conner hard drives.  Most people do not 
have a problem with this combination.  Ontrack does sell a software 
program called Disk ManagerN that speeds up thNovell installation process 
by doing a faster equivalent of COMPSURF.  No news on the Quantum drive 
or the Seagate.
  
I don't know if you know this, but Hard drive international is selling 
the Conner 100 meg hard drive for only $30 more that the 80 meg version.  
Most vendors seem to have the same strategy.  Unless your CMOS doesn't 
have user definable drive type and you don't have a entry that matches 
the Conner 100 meg, you should get the 100 meg drive.  The Conner specs 
for the 100 meg is 8 heads, 776 cylinders, and  33 sectors per track.
  
By the way, I don't work for Conner or Hard drive international.
