[edit] Older Bernoulli Drive
I remember having a Bernoulli Drive back in probably 1984 or 1985. The "drive" was actually identical to the original IBM PC/XT case (big, lead, grey), even with the big orange power switch on the left rear side. It had two drives in it, each about half the width of the box. The cartridges were 10MB and were about 3/4 of the full length of the entire case. It connected to the IBM PC/XT by some large cable (possibly SCSI?). Each drive had a black button with a red LED on it. The drives were very unreliable, but it might be because the carts we had were old/overused. I remember losing a lot of data over the failure of the carts and our inability to get any service or a replacement drive. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about? /Blaxthos 05:32, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

What does Bernoulli's principle have to do with this disk? --Abdull 00:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
- The pressure inside the drive is changed, which drives the "floating" magnetic media inside the cartridge. /Blaxthos
