- I think the trick to this is that you have to use AFDISK to format the
- Bernoullis under DOS instead of the Iomega software. It formats them
- slightly smaller (42 vice 44 MB), but on my system they seem to access
- a LOT faster. That could just be the difference in the I/O speed of
- the adapter, though.
