Nope. It looks like a standard SCSI interface (I have Irwin tape drives for the IBM PS/2 series). Would be cool to see EZTape software running on a Mac.

Reminds me of a story about Y2K compatibility testing:
There was this all-Mac shop that wanted to verify their Y2K compatibility, so they set their network time server ahead to January 2000 to see what would happen. Everything seemed to work fine, but then they noticed the network running sluggishly. They traced a bunch of extra network activity... turns out that their ancient Mac II backup server thought (the clock having been moved forward) that it was way behind on its backup schedule and started doing daily/weekly/monthly/yearly back-ups!

Wow, I love the case design on that. Wouldn't mind a dead one if anyone sees one around.

Amazing that no-one here seems to have had one ever. Probably gets mistaken for other things not Mac related as it really looks generic until you put it next to a Mac ii and they clearly look related
