"EasyHard" is Hard-disk-drive software besides the explanation how to connect SASI/SCSI-hard-drive to the parallel-port of J3100-series. It worked well. But these days I don't use it, because wired-laptops dones not coicide my opinion. {^_^} J3100-series is for Japanese-version of T3100-series from Toshiba, but I can find no reason not to work on IBM-machines.
