Bernoulli disks are magnetic media, no? Wouldn't a bulk tape eraser be a more secure means of erasing these cartridges? Bruce NJ On Tue, May 18, 2021 at 10:04 AM Jeffrey Brace via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:
Someone donated two 10x10 Bernoulli drives to VCF. They are in unknown condition. She gave us the manual, a cable and one cartridge. She wants to donate the remaining cartridges, but would like to supervise the deletion of the data they have on them. So we need one in working condition first.
As I understand it, the drives need a special card on an "older" PC to operate. She disposed of the PC that had that card.
Is there anyone who has this card and can get these drives in working order so that the lady can delete her data?
