Sounds like the good old original Bournelli Box data

removal hard drives for PC's.... I remember working on those beasties....
the original design had an issue with the power board assembly and the
capacitors used to explode. They were packaged into IBM XT type cases and
when the caps blew it sounded like someone hit the case with the metal
baseball bat... when the case was opened, underneath the cover would be the
marks where the cap blew out.... of course this "feature" was fixed in later
versions ;-)

for those interested in this sort of thing...
... there are 3 dual bournoulli 90 drives sitting at the
290/Goodwill here in NW houston. At least 4 of the drives had cartridges
in them
