imation superdisk parallel port driver for windows 10

I am currently fiddling around with the Matsus***a SuperDisk Format Utility on an LS-120 drive. Let's see whether this rare drive is actually useful, or whether it is just obsolete stuff for the museum. Not many of these were sold, and images of it are rare.' The Wikipedia has an image of the Caleb drive at, with the comment 'This is a rare image of a rare product. Under Win98 My Computer displayed the drive letter K: for the Caleb drive, under WinXP the drive letter B: I had the Imation LS-120 parallel driver for WinXP v1.01 already installed, and the Caleb drive was detected/installed without having to enter anything. in class System Devices: 'SCM PPort LS-120 Adapter' in class Floppy disk drives: 'Caleb LS-120'

WinXP Device Manager has the following 2 entries for this parallel Caleb drive: in class SCSI controllers: 'Imation SuperDisk Drive - Parallel Port' Win98 Device Manager has actually 2 entries for this parallel Caleb drive: The people at Caleb even had the gall to call their drive 'Caleb LS-120'. I have attached a screen shot of Properties in Win98SE Device Manager of a Caleb drive. Since Imation has drivers for parallel LS-120 drives for DOS, Win3x, Win9x and WinXP, this little construct should work also under these operating systems. It seems to work fine, except that the Caleb drive in My Computer has the name 'SuperDisk'. The driver was actually prepared by Shuttle Technology and only slightly modified by Imation. I used the Imation LS-120 parallel driver v1.43. I have taken the IDE/ATAPI to parallel bridge EPATP-LS120 by Shuttle Technology, from an Imation LS-120 Parallel Drive model no.11795 (actually is was the bridge inside of a bad/non-working parallel LS-120 drive) and connected it to the Caleb drive I have currently a Caleb drive connected to the parallel port of my 11-year-old Inspiron 7500 laptop, in a somewhat unusual way: (see attached picture) The Caleb drive is an ATAPI/IDE device, intended for desktop computers. The Caleb UHD144 as an external parallel drive Software for SuperFloppy drives in general could be tested with the Caleb drive.

By comparing the Caleb and the LS-120/240 drives, maybe some unique capabilities can be discovered. The Caleb UHD144i is a lesser known counterpart of the LS-120 drive.
