![]() I remember in those days having a 100 MB Zip disk set up with a full Mac OS install plus Norton Utilities and some other trouble-shooting apps. The disk was thicker and had a slightly larger footprint than a 3.5″ floppy drive, stored 100 MB of data on relatively affordable media, and provided decent throughput. Iomega is most famous for its, introduced in late 1994. The later Bernoulli Box II used a smaller cartridge, and the drive mechanism could fit in a standard half-height 5.25″ drive bay. Clever stuff! Bernoulli cartridges are huge, measuring roughly 210 x 275 mm (app.Ĩ.3″ x 10.8″), relatively fast, and were a great way to move big projects between machines or work sites in the days before local networks and the Internet were uncommon. Instead of using hard platters, as did, the high capacity Bernoulli system was essentially a big floppy disk that used the Bernoulli Principle to keep drive heads from actually touching the media. ![]() Founded in 1980, was a big name in removable media drives starting with its original 5 and 10 MB in 1982.
