the SupersPort series. If so, it uses a precursor to the standard IDE

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.
