I've got a chance to pick up an older (but not the

Box). This is a single drive 20 MB unit that appears to the SCSI.
There are no cartridges and it is unknown if it works, but the price is
right. (Just shipping.)
- Is it worth saving?
Well if you expect to be able to retire after selling it on E-bay you'll
be disappointed but they're a nice example of mid 80's computer technology.
I STILL miss the dual 20 Mb Bernoulli that I had.
- How are are cartridges to find?
EASY, check E-bay.
- Assuming the worst, is there a Sam's
Computerfacts or other technical
documentation for this beast?
I've never seen any but those things are dammed near bullet proof and
there's plenty of them available.
