I have one of the Bernoulli Box (10+10) drives for the PC. It is on my
list of things to fool around with (perhaps a hard drive for my auld
CP/M box - I actually had one running on it many years ago, somebody
else marketed the design...). The controller board in this one has every
appearance of using a SCSI interface (although the unit I hooked up to
the CP/M box years ago had a SASI interface instead).

I unfortunately have no documentation on the interface command set -
the unit has a controller board for the PC (does not seem to work on an
AT, haven't tried it with a PC yet) and associated software. Still,
given a working configuration I don't see it being that difficult to
adapt to some other system - assuming the interface from that system is
not too difficult.
