Zip Technologies 'HardCard', Need info



Hello all.  I have in my possession a Zip Technology Copyright 1991 'Zip
Drive'.  Can anyone out there point me to some documentation or software
that came with the drive?

It's owner apparently it is having some issues with it and I'd like to
know as much as possible about the hardware before I attempt to recover
the data that may still be on it.

This is a Connor CP2044PK IDE 2.5" drive on a card not dissimilar to the
Focus.  The card itself has six chips; one 68 pin socketed square chip,
one 2764 EPROM that is also socketed, and 4 surface mount logic chips. 
The rest of the board contains 3 electrolytic capacitors near the slot,
3 large surface mount capacitors and a hand full of small surface mount
resistors and capacitors.  There also appears to be room set aside for a
standard IDE pin connector for regular IDE drive cable and the board has
40 holes in alignment and size for such a connector on the back end.

Any advice, documentation or software would be appreciated.

Thankx,
Ed
