Sounds like the "standard" 20 MB HP drive as found in Vectra PCs and
measurement equipment. I once had to replace the hard disk in a HP4972
network analyser and took one from a Vectra. The controller board for the
Vectra (standard 8-bit full-length ISA card) has an onboard MC6809,
on-board sector buffer, a BIOS etc. It's quite an intelligent card from
the programmer's point of view (I've partially disassembled the BIOS), but
lack further information. Would be nice to write a Linux driver for that
board ;-)
