I was sorting through the remains of my collection and found this external drive. I can’t find information about him, I need help in searching or a hint from knowledgeable forum residents. Thx!
I'd be hesitant to use the keyboard plug to pull 1A of current. Seems like a recipe to blow a mainboard fuse.
edit: adding all the text so the search engines can have some fun.

But people came up with this miracle of engineering, albeit with such a problem as a blowned fuse. I want to understand what it is and why ...
It's likely a laptop harddrive in an enclosure that houses an interface which connects to the parallel port and allows for a printer to be connected as well.
Going off on the name it also likely supports an EPP parallel port which should allow for 'fast' transfer speeds if your laptop/computer sports an EPP supporting parallel port.
