Duh. The ones I had in mind were the 8". The only 5.25" carthridge I
have is the head cleaner. As far as I know I have none of the media.
I'll see if I have any 8" carts to spare.
The complete drive unit is made by Bering but it
uses to Bernoulli
drives. It has a HP-IB interface and was sold for use with the HP
computers. IEM made similar drives. I have some of both.
They're pretty damn reliable. I read a batch of about 15 that were
written in the middle to late 1980s and I only encountered a few errors on
a couple of the disks.
