- Well, that's the bernoulli. :-) I think the bernoulli is a bit
- different & I think the older bernoulli drives (& maybe the newer ones
- too) need an adapter to work on macs. I may be wrong. My syquest works
- flawlessly on both machines w/ disks formatted for the native
- enviroment. I've used the syquest on SE/30, IIcx, II, and my Adaptec
- 1542b. I think I used it w/ a Plus once too.
