Seagate Technology
     
         A major manufacturer of {hard disk drives}, founded
        in 1979 as "Shugart Technology" by {Alan F. Shugart} and
        {Finis Conner}.  That name is on the original patents for the
        5.25" hard disk drive.  They changed the name to Seagate
        Technology soon after to avoid confusion, and also to avoid
        friction with {Xerox}, which had since purchased Alan's
        earlier company, {Shugart Associates}.
