If my memory serves me correctly, this product series came from
Microsolutions. I think they are based in Illinois somewhere. They used to
be famous for their CP/M software called Uniform in the early days of
personal computing. When CP/M died, they came up with parallel port floppy
drives, CDROMs and tape products. Was a good company, but don't know much
about their newer products.

  I believe it's a brand name for external drives that plug into a
parallel port.  That's likely to make it slow -- okay for backup, but
