           PART II:  INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3.        Incorporation of Documents by Reference
               ---------------------------------------

     There are hereby incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement
the following documents and information heretofore filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission (Seagate Technology, Inc. is sometimes referred to herein as
the "Company"):

     (a)  The Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
          July 2, 1999, filed August 25, 1999 pursuant to Section 13 of the
          Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act");

     (b)  The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed January 27, 2000
          relating to the Settlement Agreement which the Company entered into
          with Rodimc PLC on January 26, 2000.

     (c)  The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 17, 1999
          relating to the Company's entry into an Agreement and Plan of
          Reorganization with XIOtech Corporation, dated December 3, 1999.

     (c)  The Company's Proxy Statement dated October 4, 1999 relating to the
          Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders;

     (d)  The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
          October 1, 1999, filed October 27, 1999 pursuant to Section 13 of the
          1934 Act;

     (e)  The pro forma financial statements contained in the Registrant's
          Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 3, 1999;

     (f)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock set forth on Form 8-
          A/A as filed on December 2, 1994, pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934
          Act (file no. 1-10639) and any amendment or report filed for the
          purpose of updating such description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the 1934 Act on or after the date of this Registration Statement
and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities
          -------------------------

          Not Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
          --------------------------------------

          Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

          The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the maximum
extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as a director. The
Registrant's Bylaws provide that the directors, officers and certain other
persons will be
<PAGE>

indemnified with respect to third-party actions or suits, provided such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. The Registrant's Bylaws
further provide that directors, officers and certain other persons will be
indemnified with respect to actions or suits by or in the right of the
Registrant, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant; except that no indemnification shall be made in the event that such
person shall be adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a court
determines that indemnification is fair and reasonable in view of all the
circumstances. The Registrant's Bylaws require the Registrant to pay all
expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee, or agent in defending any
proceeding within the scope of the indemnification provisions as such expenses
are incurred in advance of its final disposition, subject to repayment if it is
ultimately determined that such party was not entitled to indemnity by the
Registrant. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors containing provisions which are in some respects broader
than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements require the Registrant, among
other things to indemnify such officers and directors against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors' and
officers' insurance, if available on reasonable terms. The Registrant believes
that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as
directors and officers.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to
an action by reason of that fact that he or she was a director, officer or agent
of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such
action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and
with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 9.   Undertakings
          ------------

          A.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

               (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

               (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

          B.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

          C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company, indemnification
agreements entered into between the Company and its officers and directors or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

     (c)  The Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed December 17, 1999
          relating to the Company's entry into an Agreement and Plan of

     (c)  The Company's Proxy Statement dated October 4, 1999 relating to the
          Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders;

     (d)  The Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended

     (e)  The pro forma financial statements contained in the Registrant's
          Current Report on Form 8-K filed September 3, 1999;

     (f)  The description of the Registrant's Common Stock set forth on Form 8-
          A/A as filed on December 2, 1994, pursuant to Section 12 of the 1934
          Act (file no. 1-10639) and any amendment or report filed for the
          purpose of updating such description.

     All documents filed by the Company pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14
and 15(d) of the 1934 Act on or after the date of this Registration Statement
and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all
securities offered have been sold or which deregisters all securities then
remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this
Registration Statement and to be part hereof from the date of filing of such
documents.

Item 4.   Description of Securities
          -------------------------

          Not Applicable.

Item 5.   Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
          --------------------------------------

          Not Applicable.

Item 6.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
          -----------------------------------------

          The Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation limits, to the maximum
extent permitted by Delaware law, the personal liability of directors for
monetary damages for breach of their fiduciary duties as a director. The
Registrant's Bylaws provide that the directors, officers and certain other
persons will be
indemnified with respect to third-party actions or suits, provided such person
acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in or
not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. The Registrant's Bylaws
further provide that directors, officers and certain other persons will be
indemnified with respect to actions or suits by or in the right of the
Registrant, provided that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such
person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the
Registrant; except that no indemnification shall be made in the event that such
person shall be adjudged to be liable to the Registrant, unless a court
determines that indemnification is fair and reasonable in view of all the
circumstances. The Registrant's Bylaws require the Registrant to pay all
expenses incurred by a director, officer, employee, or agent in defending any
proceeding within the scope of the indemnification provisions as such expenses
are incurred in advance of its final disposition, subject to repayment if it is
ultimately determined that such party was not entitled to indemnity by the
Registrant. The Registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its
officers and directors containing provisions which are in some respects broader
than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the Delaware General
Corporation Law. The indemnification agreements require the Registrant, among
other things to indemnify such officers and directors against certain
liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or
officers (other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct of a culpable
nature), to advance their expenses incurred as a result of any proceeding
against them as to which they could be indemnified, and to obtain directors' and
officers' insurance, if available on reasonable terms. The Registrant believes
that these agreements are necessary to attract and retain qualified persons as
directors and officers.

     Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a
corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent made a party to
an action by reason of that fact that he or she was a director, officer or agent
of the corporation or was serving at the request of the corporation against
expenses actually and reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with such
action if he or she acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably
believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and
with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or
her conduct was unlawful.

     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") may be permitted to directors,
officers or persons controlling the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission, such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.

Item 7.   Exemption from Registration Claimed

Item 9.   Undertakings
          ------------

          A.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

               (1)   To file, during any period in which offers or sales are
being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement to include
any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously
disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such
information in the registration statement.

               (2)   That, for the purpose of determining any liability under
the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a
new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.

               (3)   To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the
termination of the offering.

          B.   The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes
of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the
1934 Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's
annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act) that is incorporated by
reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration
statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such
securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering
thereof.

          C.   Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons
of the Company pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Certificate
of Incorporation of the Company, the Bylaws of the Company, indemnification
agreements entered into between the Company and its officers and directors or
otherwise, the Company has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities
and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as
expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event
that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Company in successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding)
is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with
the securities being registered hereunder, the Company will, unless in the
opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent,
submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities
Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
