Assuming that it is an HD20SC. It could be an HD20, as used on the 128 and
512 pre the Ke/Plus motherboard with SCSI.
And I think that there is no way at all to use that drive - whilst there are
Smartport drives, the HD20 predates whatever support was needed, and Apple
had moved on to SCSI, so the Smartport HDs are somewhat different.
