Both the Beiring and the Iomega use Iomega cartridges which are bernoulli style
floppies.

On a related note, Iomega has been working with a floppy drive maker to make
a 3.5" floppy drive (Standard Sony type floppies) that wil not only read 400,
800, and I think 1.4meg floppies, but will read & write 20megs onto one of
those floppies!!! Boy that's less than $.25/meg! (High Density Floppy ~$5)
