I have had reports that it works with my (unsupported alpha) driver
for the EPST. (See http://www.torque.net/parport/)

I believe there was an internal EIDE version of the drive. AFAIK,
however, the external version was based on the original SCSI drive and
the Shuttle EPST adapter.

That's the EPST cable.
