That drive works connected to the SmartPort, but you need a driver for
it.  This driver replaces the Apple3.5 driver.  You have to remove the
Apple3.5 driver before the AEHD1.6 driver can be recognized.  Go to
the web address liquefy.isca.uiowa.edu/8/ground and enter "AEHD"
in the substring search field to find the driver.
