I just saw an advertisement for the Leading Edge PClone equipped with
what they call "Infinite Memory." This is a built-in 20 MB Bernoulli
disk drive.  List price for the system complete with this drive and
two cartridges is $1999; the cartridges list for $49.95 each and are
about the size of a 5-1/4" floppy (but thicker). 
   C Ltd.  is charging $1600 for their 50 MB hard disk and controller.
Personally, I'd rather have one or two of these Bernoulli items.  They
would also be ideal for backups of really large disks (100 MB plus),
since unlike a tape drive the Bernoulli boxes are useful in their own
right.  Anyone know who makes the hardware?  Is it SCSI?
