No, I don't have it anymore. I kept it around for 3 or 4 years, trying various methods to revive it, then threw it away when I took a job in New Zealand, hoping to move there for good. Well, that didn't work out and I came back after a few years, but the drive (and many other things) were lost in the process.

Also: the drive was absolutely dead, it wouldn't power up. I even tried to change its controller - I took it off another Conner drive, installed it on the deceased one - and nothing happened. On that occasion I realized that, even though they were the same model/capacity, Conner had used different electronics for different batches.

Ironically, the drive was built like a tank: never again I saw a hard-drive with a casing that thick (looked like cast iron).
