- I am selling a Bernoulli 90 MB Transportable cartridge drive + three cartridges.
- The drive is about 6 months old.
-
- The Iomega Bernoulli cartridge drive is both faster and far more reliable than
- Syquest-based drives. I've had it for 6 months, *I haven't experience
- a single failure*. The drive is a SCSI drive (built in terminator), but Iomega
- sells adaptors for PC parallel ports(*). This is an extremely versatile drive.
- Each cartridge is large enough to hold a lot of archived information and the
- fast access time makes it a painless drive to work off of. The drive also comes
- with a built-in handle (for easy transporation) and a side stand. The
- drive head has a built-in cleaning system and all you need to replace is the
- air filter once in a while. The cartridges last for 5 years at 40 hrs a week
- (MTBF is 60,000 hours), I've only used them somewhat sparsely for 6 months
- (<10 hrs a week). The cartridges can withstand 1000g's of force.
-
- This is really a great drive, IMHO. I used this drive off a NeXTstation and it
- worked like a charm.
-
- Right now, it retails for $700-800. I am including 3 90 MB cartridges which retail
- for around $150 each.
-
- I'd like $850 for the package, but I'll gladly consider reasonable offers.
- Send me e-mail (anwar@cs.cmu.edu) or call me at 1-412-421-9779.
