Maybe, but doubtful. This was more of a tape backup device. It uses
DIGITAL cassettes. If you've never seen one, they have a square notch
just off the center of the top of the cassette, and they have two slide
tabs to turn write-protection on/off. Otherwise, it looks just like a
regular analog cassette tape.

Does anyone
have a manual, or know how to operate, an Everex digital
cassette drive?
The one I have is all black, and has a DC-37 connector on the back that I
assume connects to an old-style IBM PC drive interface. If this is the
case, I assume I still need drivers to run this thing? And maybe some
operating software?
An original IBM PC with the BASIC ROMs should be able to load
from cassette using LOAD and save using SAVE, shouldn't it?
