        I took a look at the Pinnacle drive today and it is a
Pinnacle Micro Sierra Optical Hard Drive with a 1.3gig capacity on
5-1/4" removable media. Supposedly it is a double-sided cartridge
capable of holding 650Mb per side. It appears to be a standard SCSI
drive, but unfortunately I do not have any of the disks for it.
