- It seems to me like OS/2 is seeing the Bernoulli as a huge floppy, so
- it formats it with the floppy algorithm. When the drivers are
- installed, the disk is formatted in the Iomega way.
-
- Under DOS, the drive is inacessible without Iomega's drivers, right?
- This being the case, it would only be able to read Iomega-format
- disks.
