That's because the Bernoulli drive's interface is (mostly) SCSI which,
if you do all the transaction handling in software, which the Bernoulli
driver does, all you really need is some parallel I/O.
Handling tape drives is usually quite a bit more complicated than that.
Anyone got a Bernoulli drive they dont need?
I'm looking for some too.
