Ah, DMA Systems ... I remember them well as I used to make some of their
prototype PC Boards for the removeable HDs while they were in
development. I *think* they ran out of venture capital somewhere along
the line and were sold to IIRC Ricoh. I found one of their drives
packaged in a chassis produced by ... can't remember the name but I
think it was a local company ... without any cartridges. One of the
engineers who used to work at DMA Systems still had a cartridge for it
that I have now.
