The Deskpro 6000 had the 2940 in it.. The Deskpro XL had something else, but
I dont remember which.. Those were mostly slower boxes, which I dont think
had faster then a Pentium Pro 200 in them.. Kinda not worth doing anything
with anymore.. At lease they had a SCSI CD even if it was only 4x or 6x..
The DP 4000 & 6000 were all IDE CD's, I dont recall seeing any from Compaq
with a SCSI cd anyway..
Thanks for the pointer on the IDE CD anyway..
