I am looking to add some removeable storage devices to some Macs. The most
basic part of the choice is "Bernoulli or Syquest?"
I am leaning toward the Bernoulli option because I may need to use this
solution on some MS/DOS machines as well.
Has anyone had experience with the Bernoulli drives? I am especially
interested in how well they follow the Mac "feel" since Bernoulli got its
start in MS/DOS land.

Other than the fact that the drive is 'noisy' when a disk is inserted, I have had no problems whatsoever (oh yeah, I *did* have one problem where one of the two drives refused to recognize that a disk was inserted. Sent it back for warranty service and got it back, repaired, in 10 days!). The bottom line - I like it.
