Point me at some off list. I've been looking for over two months. I've
found 10MB carts (bought the only 5 that were there), an original manual
for the 10MB 8" units with software, and a controller card. But the
20MB 8" disks haven't been there, unless I'm doing something very wrong.
Just sent you four auction numbers off-list.
I think the build quality and the technology were great for the time,
and that's why I want to get one working. This is the kind of thing
that was 'high end' back when I was a PC user, and the Bernoulli boxes
were legendary for being tough and weird. So I'm really motivated to
get one of these working. But wow, there just isn't a lot of
information out there - this stuff is dangerously close to falling into
the bit bucket.
Well send them to me if you give up! ;)

- Does anybody know of a source for 20MB cartridges
for the older 8"
drive? Having used 10MB cartridges that I'm not sure I can write too is
kind of useless.
...eBay...not hard to find.. I'm going to need therapy after this. I have
thought about throwing the
damned things out the window.

I actually had really good luck with them. I had dozens of disks, but
I think I only had one or two of the 8" disks fail, and I've never seen
a 44MB disk fail. They're surprisingly reliable.
