BurgerBill did the original design; after some fallout with Zip, he sold
them himself (or rather a little company he owned half of -- Parsons
Engineering -- did) and I bought one, a 120 Mb Connor.

IDE. They are the same drives used by many PC laptops.

I received a utility disk with mine; it might work, but Bill said that
he'd improved the drive firmware quite a bit, so I think it's iffy --
in any case your best bet is to get in touch with Bill somehow and
ask him.
