Those were great!!! I used to service those beasties in 90' The
great "feature" of the 8" drives in the XT cases were the power
supplies... the earlier power supplies had a capacitor overload issue
and you'd be working in a lab area and hear this loud ka-bang!!! like a
hammer hitting the case with all its might and what would happen is the
large coke-can sized capacitors used to explode! :-)

I have a few Bernoulli 150 drives set up on
machines currently.
They can read from 60 to 150Mb disks. I have both the SCSI and the IDE
versions. I could not tell exactly what Bernoulli box you were trying
to hook up. I have the OADDOS software that came with the Bernoulli
drives, or if you have disks that fit my drives, I can read them.
I'm using the old 8" system, the original Bernoulli Box (big sucker, looks
like a large IBM PC, weighs a ton).
