The earliest Iomega Bernoulli "Boxes" had two 10M cartridge drives.
Unfortunately the interface was a bastardized SASI, not SCSI. I had a
long talk with an Iomega support guy (when these guys actually knew
something). You need the 8-bit interface card that came with the drives
to make them work. Same is true of the later 10M 1/2-height drives.
Iomega did eventually switch to a standard SCSI but I do not know when
they made the change.

The earliest devices were full height 10MB 8" SCSI drives that had
optional slave
drives attached. Their main claim to fame was using floppy type media.
The first Syquests were MFM ST506, using removable plated media.
