it's 520kB long, and "plays" for 1 min 25 secs, including the

Isn't that just a linear recording?

That doesn't sound right at all. Typical MP3 recordings at around
128Kbps end up at around 1MB per minute.

New subject: PowerUser external SCSI HD
Today I picked up the subject item at a thrift. It seems to be quite
similar to the Iomega Jaz V1000S except that it is a single platter
thing instead of having four heads as the Jaz does. Aside from the PU
name and a serial number it offers nothing else to help identitfy it
further.
Can anyone shed any further light on this critter?

Its probably an early SyQuest drive of some sort. Some company (I forget
who) used to sell generic external SCSI cases with drives installed with
the name 'PowerUser' on the case. Usually that name badge was little more
than a foil sticker. Those external drives were marketed mostly to Mac
users.

It's probably a re-badged SyQuest drive that can do 44 and 88 MB
carthridges. I have a lot of media for these so let me know if you want a
couple to play around with it.
