We have a 2 year old Iomega Bernoulli Box 10+10 running off a SCSI host
adapter on our microvax.  We would like to move the drive to a Mac SE.
The word from tech support at Iomega was that this particular drive would
not run with the Mac.  They could not give me the reason.  We have built
a custom interface to a Z80 micro and written drivers for this drive.  It
seems to be a vanilla SCSI adapter.  Of course the drive would not be 
compatible with the standard Mac drivers and formatters.

Does Iomega provide their own drivers for their Mac compatible Boxes?

Is there any *hardware* incompatibility between the Mac SCSI and a Bernoulli
box?

We do not think that there whould be any hardware problems from what we 
have read.  We have the expertise in house to write our own driver for this 
combination but we do not want to have to do any serious hardware mods on
our mac or drive.

Any comments would be appreciated.
