Makes sense. Yea, don't bulk erase em. Same with a lot of the tape media 
like LTO.

There are a number of Bernoulli cards on feeBay. I remember the drives, 
but when I used them they were 44mb and SCSI as I recall.

Looks like a DB-37 cable is used as well.

Also, some of the boards on eBay have an EPROM (boot?), some don't. Some 
are missing a bunch of chips including what might be a pal/gal.

Lots of different versions but most seem to have DB-37.
