You are correct. Thanks for the link to the reference material. I was
thinking of the predecessors from Connor that had three digit model
numbers (343 perhaps?). So the 3044 is a "normal" ATA drive. It would
be interesting to see if something can be done to make the GRiD see a
different model number.

That part number, CP3044, sounds like the same
drive that Zenith used in
the SupersPort series. If so, it uses a precursor to the standard IDE
interface and is unique.
AFAIK, the CP3044 is a standard ATA drive--but don't take my word for it.
Here's the product manual for the 3044:

I do recall that in the early ATA days, the format of the response from the
IDENTIFY command had some variation between manufacturers, but Conner
pretty much set the standard for others to follow.
The old Prarietek drives were a different kettle of fish, however.
