I am looking for information on the Bernoulli internal 20 meg
hard drive cartriges.  I know that the "Bernoulli boxes" used to
be quite the rage several years ago.  They *do* seem to be a very
attractive product for a PC that has several different users,
since the removable cartridges offer excellent security as well
as the opportunity to customize one's operating environment.

I would like to hear from anyone with experience with these, good
or bad.  Specifically, I'd like to know:

   (1)  Are they slow?  I've heard this, but I couldn't say where.

   (2)  Are they difficult to maintain?

   (3)  Can you boot DOS from one?

Thanks in advance for any information you can give me.
