The 30104 is a newer generation from the 3104.  The 3104 was 105Mb formatted,
25mS, 2.9W, 4 platters, and 1.625" high in a 3.5" package.  It could take a
50G non-operational shock.  The 30104 is pretty new.  The first that I heard
of it was in an 11/90 brochure.  It is 120Mb formatted, sub-19mS, 2.8W, 2
platters, and 1" high.  It can take a 75G non-op shock.  It also has a bigger
buffer and slightly better data xfer rates.  On both drives the trailing "4"
means the IDE interface.  Replace the 4 with a 0 for a SCSI interface.

Conner's address is: Conner Peripherals, 3081 Zanker Rd, San Jose CA 95134,
408-456-4500.

I have no connection with Conner other than being a satisfied OEMer.
