Iomega came and demonstrated their 8" 10Meg Bernouli's to our
computer club just about the time the IBM PC came out, as I
recall.   Locally some people were using them on S-100 CPM
machines.  It was a year or two before there were any PC
interfaces.   Syquest and Iomega have both been around a long
time in relationship to other computers manufacturers.
