As a result of my first question about the problems with the Bernouilli
drive, I got a couple of remarks.
 
The best 2 advices  I got (at least the two that solved my problem)
were:
-get a new device driver. (I was using version 4.41, I have now 4.44+)
-add /F after the line "device=rcd.sys".
 
With these two fixes, things seems to work.
I also called IOMEGA, and they were (as some predicted) very helpful.
They prommised to send me the last version (version 4.71, so I'm still
a little behind with my 4.44). I expect they will do so, so my
experiance with them is ok. 

It always nice to notice that people on this net are both willing
and capable of helping. You really helped me a lot!

btw. I paid $ 375 (incl. VAT) for the drive+if card. This was a special
price. What do you pay for this set (20Mb Half Hight+Card, no disks)
in the US? And what do you pay for the cartridges?
