I have no clue other than the vague chart on the back. It looks like a 150
drive will read write format with a * for reduced performance a 90 meg cart.
It does not say anything about using 150m media in a 90m drive. This makes
me think the media will fit but will have to be formatted. To be sure I
would contact IOmega.

The only Bernoulli drive I have ever used was a just released 20m (I think)
back on a then new 286.

If you are still interested contact me off list. With the arrangements I
have with the scrapper I got them from to list members I am only looking for
$5.00 ea. plus shipping. If they are to be going into commercial use that
price WILL be higher.
