According to my handy-dandy Pocket PCRef, the Conner CP-343 looks like this:

4 heads
805 cylinders
26 sectors

That translates into the following for your BIOS:

42.9 meg
cyl= 977
hds=5
sec=17

No landing zone, no RWC or WPC.

It looks like HP used these in some of their Vectra laptops, too.

I hope that helps!
