    Only at first glance, really. If you take a closer look at the
back, the drive interface is a removable cable, just the like biege
DuoDisk 5.25 drive (a female DB25 port). It came with a DB25 to DB19
cable, just like the DuoDisk 5.25. However, unlike the DuoDisk 5.25,
it did have a daisy-chain port connector. I'm not sure if it had a
plastic security connector (for the Kensington lock kit), most likely 
it did not.
