I have a 90PRO transportable and I had to open the small vented front
panel and throw a two-position switch so the NeXT could see the Bernoulli
as a removable device.  Seems the default position (which suits SGI and 
others) of the switch is as non-removeable.  This panel is about 3/4"
by 1.5" and is about 3" to the left of the blue rubber button. 
BTW, this info was not in the manual but included on a separate slip of 
paper that came with my drive.

Enjoy,
