Is this an NCR controller?

I have a portable JAZ drive which I hook to my HP300, PowerPC, PS/2
and Alpha, variously, for porting.  The PPC and the Alpha have an
NCR, and have a tough time seeing the JAZ drive.  Basically, I have
to bring up the drive, bring up the computer, and then insert the
cartridge after the reset but before the "waiting for devices to
settle" to get it to boot.

I have an NCR controller in my dual P90 box, and the Internal JAZ
drive there doesn't have problems; I'm convinced the problem is
specific to the portable JAZ drive (or the external connector on
the NCR controller).
