Iomega's "Open Architecture Drivers" (OAD) for DOS are the hardware drivers necessary for using 5.25-inch Bernoulli Box II devices with DOS over SCSI. The drivers were provided on a 1.4MB HD floppy disk. The version on this diskette is 1.21.00, released June 22, 1993, according to the accompanying README.IOM. (At least one later driver revision was published, called simply "Iomega SCSI", and was released August 11, 1994. It contains driver version 2.1.) For more information on the development of Iomega's "Open Software Architecture" for SCSI and "WORM" devices (write once, read many), please see Chapter 15 of "Software for Optical Storage", "An Open Software Architecture for Software Device Integration" by Larry Holmstrom of Iomega (1989), edited by Brian Berg and Judith Roth.
