Eh?  The Bernoulli box can't handle XENIX?  This is assinine.  The IOMEGA
uses a brain damaged version of the SCSI standard and the main problem I
had in implementing it under XENIX 286 was that the SCSI Host Adapters
on the Market today all bite the big one. It took me forever to get through
several broken cards and cryptic (and sometimes blatently wrong) manuals.
There exists XENIX device drivers for the IOMEGA, although I do not have
it anymore.  None of this is the fault of IOMEGA, the box works to spec,
but I have already enumerated the problems inherent to it's operation.
