Re: Bernoulli 230 - howto use it?

Taken from a manual that I have:
The Bernoulli drives use 256K blocks instead of 512k. When formatting, set 256k blocks "ON" from the Partitions Tool window. I have the DataFlyer SX4000 that specifically handles these drives.

I have used the A3070 tape drive (150MB) in the past. The software I used was called Ami-Back by Intelligent Designs. It supports SCSI tape drives or DAT drives. ;-)

   What really bothers me is the idea of the Bernoulli drive at this LATE date. The Bernoulli drives (by Iomega) are discontinued, and the data carts are also a discontinued product. Your quest was for backup is commendable, but there are less costly solutions that produce better results.
   I admire Chain. He is trying to keep his Amiga working, protected, and data secure. I have sold him Amiga items.
When all is said and done, it is still easier to utilize an external SCSI hard drive.  :-(
