- For sale: Bernoulli Box: 2 20MB drives incl. adapter + 12 20MB cartridges
-
- For sale by owner: 1 external Bernoulli Box with 2 20-megabyte drives
- in one enclosure, a microchannel adapter card (which can be exchanged
- for a nominal shipping charge with Iomega for an AT adapter card if
- desired, or which I can exchange for you before you buy this), and 12
- 20-megabyte cartridges, for a total storage of 240 megabytes.

- These drives are great because they combine the best features of hard
- disks and tape backup drives. Unlike a tape backup drive, you can
- access the files just like you access the files on your hard disk: a
- drive letter gets assigned to the drive. For example, if you have one
- hard disk labeled C:, the system automatically assigns the Bernoulli
- drives as D: and E:. But, unlike a hard disk, the storage capacity is
- effectively unlimited: when you want more, you just buy more
- cartridges (much, much cheaper than buying more hard disk drives).

- I'll take the best offer for these. Reply via e-mail to
- cb_rw@gsbacd.uchicago.edu. I'm in Chicago, but I can send these
- anywhere you'd like.
