If you could tell us what brand and model it is, there might be
a bit better chance of telling.  Based on conversations with
a NeXT engineer, I doubt it would work for installing software on
anything except (maybe!) an r4k Indigo.  It might be usable
for ISO9660 disks once the system is up if it is a Sony or
Toshiba drive.
