They're a half height drive that use a special data cartridge that's look just like an audio cassette with an extra notch in the top. They have an embedded SCSI controller and are in the same performance league as the 2150 Archive (5.25" 150Meg) drives. Pretty cool little drives.. I think they wholesale in volume for around $250, just a guesstamate.
