The underlying technology was licensed from Iomega. It featured 10 MB disks that were the size of A4 paper and about 1 cm thick. Using an 8-bit scsi-like interface, 2 drive boxes would be connected to an 8-bit interface card. Driver software was available for Novell NetWare and DOS.
At a time when 20 MB hard disks were standard equipment for PCs, a removable double 10 MB drive was a significant addition. In most cases, one could additionally use DoubleSpace or DriveSpace technology to increase the available storage space.
