Very interesting...looks more like an external unit retrofitted to work
internally. The first internal zip drive I recall working with was blue
(that color scheme for internals didn't seem to last long)...as I recall it
was SCSI (actually I'm sure it was, the IDE's didn't come till later on),
but
Someone gave me some of the external blue zips to experiment with for an
internal Mac conversion. I opened one and it has a proprietary design to
fit the plastic case and seemed to just fall apart so I just tossed it.
If anyone is interested, I have two more for FREE plus shipping just contact
me
It also has a place where another dual row header could fit. The other dual row
of holes are slightly staggered, so that wouldn't be for a pin header. There's
also a couple of spots for jumpers that aren't installed.
My bet is this version pretty much went direct from late prototypes to
product

mine is the standard hard drive size, and it works better than the
ATAPI ones (faster smoother and quieter I mean). I don't know about
the destroying of disks
